- godmodus 10y agobeen a "word" since forever mate, i even remember using it in the 90s. and it's alright, you might just be young or haven't forayed much into the deeper corners of the web where 'vulns' get discussed.
- peterwwillis 10y agodid you see that noobs box get pwnd by that js vuln? what a waste of a 0day. luldongues
- godmodus 10y agoWell we didn't use luldongues where I hanged out, but beyond that, pretty accurate for a clean, leetspeak free version :P Ahh, it's been awhile since I was 16.
- oxide 10y agoit's just slang. it is not an actual word that people use in conversation, but it is an abbreviation of vulnerability used as slang among certain circles.
- klodolph 10y agoYes, but it's somewhat informal and only used in writing (it sounds a bit weird if you say it out loud).
- sctb 10y agoWe updated the submission title from “37% of sites use a JavaScript library with a known vuln–reality is probably worse” to that of the article.
