Default INTERNET UNDER ATTACK

"The attack, dubbed Cross-Site Tracing (XST), involves a method whereby a programmable engine or common client side scripting language, such as JavaScript, accesses and obtains Web authentication credentials on a target system regardless of how well the information is stored and protected. This in turn can be used by a hacker to assume the identity of a victim on an array of sites ranging from Web mail, to online banking, to auction sites."

<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/01/25/internet.attack/index.html" target="_blank">CNN</a> is reporting on it, too.
