PodCast Hijacking

Corante has an interesting warning about Podcasting security. It seems that if you’re not careful, someone else might be registering your podcast for you and (as a man-in-the-middle) waiting for an opportune moment to turn off their link and then blackmail you.

Ease of adoption strikes again. Authentication of an RSS feed might be a good idea, even if it adds a moderate amount of flexibility. Podcast certificates anyone?
