[News] Proprietary Software Bugs - A Web Worm's Delight

Researchers warn over web worms

,----[ Quote ]
| Last year, the Samy worm propagated among MySpace users, using Javascript
| and AJAX code to add a MySpace.com user "Samy" to the victim's list of
| friends. The incident created speculation that more scripts capable of
| infecting Web site users would follow. Indeed, other worms used
| Javascript paired with vulnerabilities in Flash and Windows Meta File 
| (WMF) format to spread among users.
