The Facebook "Osama Dead" Worm
- makmanalp 16y agoThe actual link to the facebook page this spreads from is here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Osama-is-Dead-Watch-the-Video/202284626477244 http://www.facebook.com/pages/Osama-is-Dead-Watch-the-Video/... Apparently people do actually copy the javascript and paste it into the URL bar, effectively getting past cross-domain xhr restrictions. This looks like another interesting case of "why johnny can't notice security risks". How does one mitigate something like this other than expecting users to be knowledgeable?
