GoogHOle Exploits GMail, Picasa and 200K Other Sites
Giorgio Maone writes "Multiple Google-targeted exploits disclosed in the past 3 days could compromise your GMail account, steal your pictures from Picasa or impersonate you on almost 200,000 big sites which outsourced their search engines (vulnerabilities included in the price). If even Google, a very reactive company when web security matters, does face this kind of problems, how serious is the threat and what can you do, as a "normal" web user, to protect yourself?"
I don't think the dangers of software are that analogous to walking through downtime and midnight. I think that it's closer to banging a prostitute. The more attractive ones are the most dangerous and you may not know the ramifications of your actions until much later on. You could be spreading viruses to others for sometime with out knowing it, all because of one stupid mistake. OH GOD CINDY PLEASE FORGIVE ME, TAKE ME BACK, I AM SO SORRY!!!
You obviously need to exploit a GoogHOle.
I have excellent Karma and I am not afraid to Troll it.
And Slashdot seems to be triggering NoScript quite a lot.
