Yahoo! XSS Flaw Endangers its Users

Rarely Greys writes "A major Yahoo XSS flaw makes it possible to take over any Yahoo user's account, including their mail, instant messaging, photos, etc. This is not a rare occurrence. So why aren't web sites doing more to protect their users? It's looking like most web developers don't even know or care about XSS."

    You'd think that editors would strip out such biased garbage from submissions and let, you know, the community make those statements instead of reporting them as news.
    So, dickhead, does the exploit work or not?
