Journal Journal: Passwordjacking on SNS may leak private information

Any login forms, that can be loaded in malformed IFRAME, may lead users into logging in to the website unintentionally if the targeted user had saved password in browser.

The secure methods to prevent this attack is already known as prevention of clickjacking or CSRF. But these methods have not been applied carefully on the pages that can be loaded without login, I think.
I found only one SNS that accept this attack now. Though there may be more insecure SNS.

The preceding research suggested the cold climate in higher latitude might cause the mutations. In their new research, they collected "Zizeeria maha" butterflies from 10 locations including the Fukushima and compared to that from southern locations. A straight answer of the new research would affirm the preceding but not suggests that the radiation exposure caused the mutations. This report published on Scientific Reports. This paper is Open Access, not reviewed nor moderated.

This report had been disucussed between Japanese networkers before distributed to worldwide. And now, some Japanese medium are reimporting the news as "The Nature reports..."
