There maybe some still do not deem it necessary to Firefox to purchase it with the appropriate here linked add - ons to provide, I would like to incorporate a small example.
16.04.2009 smuggled a 17-year-young man, a worm in the networks of the free Blogger service mini " Twitter " field. This worm spread through Javascript from profile to profile. When you look at the profile of an infected person, they put themselves on the worm.
Fortunately, the worm was not intended to be used, for example, dangerous and steal passwords. However, this would have been easily possible. About the XSS vulnerability, which was used by hackers, it would have been possible without notice read users' passwords. However, wanted to make the 17 year old apparently aware only of the vulnerability.
are now closed loopholes used, and disinfected the profiles.
A defense of this worm would have been, for example, simply using NoScript . This would have blocked the malicious code, unless of course you could be the JScript on this very page. I would therefore like to reiterate that even the best plugin is useless if you make an exception for everything and everyone. Self, as Twitter has impressively demonstrated at trusted sites. Sometimes, however, is not different, and in an emergency you can ever make a temporary exception.
