Comment Fake News on real sites such as CNN (Score 0) 128

Lots of sites have cross site scripting vulnerabilities, and news sites are one of them. CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other local new sites, have the ability to inject HTML into the pages. So the domain still reads the sites original URL, but contains altered text. Dont believe me? http://xssed.com/ is a database oh sites that currently have such security hole. Take a look at common sites you use, and maybe demand these sites fix them.

These are the same people that say things such as: NIC Cards (network interface card card) ATM Machine (automated teller machine machine) and my favorite PIN Number (personal identification number number). Calling the whole computer a CPU/hard drive/box thingy/tower will always continue on, so we will just have to deal with it.

Submission + - Stolen Code on Source Forge 1

ItsPaPPy writes: "I am coder/staff on a site that was broken into, cyber-wars.com, a while back. Our source code was stolen and has now appeared on sourceforge.net We have contacted the person and our legal team has contacted SF. They have said there is nothing they can do, without having a police report their hands our tied. So I put it to the community, 1. how can this person try to put this code out their as his own, 2. how can a great community like SF, who was created for coders to make a name for themselves and their products, allow for this to go on any longer?

All the hard work we have put into the site, no anyone can just download our file and make a site just like ours. Everything is packaged including our images that we paid good money to have designed.

So I ask the community what is some one to do against a big ignorant site like SF?"
