Web 2.0 vulnerabilities report
It had to happen one day. There are always the baddies who have to take something that’s good and ruin it for the rest of us. Apparently, the computer baddies are exploiting vulnerabilities in Web 2.0 technologies to do naughty things. According to an article in Campus Technology (“Web 2.0 Threats Loom Large for IT”), “The very technologies that make Web 2.0 a reality (AJAX, in large part) seem to be considerably vulnerable to security breaches that can lead to data loss and theft and other malicious activities. And the growth of converged devices taking advantage of these technologies adds further to the problems.”
And then there’s this quote from the same article: “Exploits against converged devices, such as smart phones and iPhones, were named the No. 4 threat.”
Dang. How am I gonna make a case for getting an iPhone for my birthday if it’s highly vulnerable to cyber-security attacks?
Well, they are not going to ruin it for us!, i hope,
So far, there has’nt been ANY issue with the use of ajax that has’nt been addressed by code. (To the best of my knowledge)
THE PROBLEM IS!, when are we going to get a good enough handle on the problem to automate a solution!. At a point of time, not every email address hd spam protection!. Not any more!.
One example is!, symfony php frame work. In their new version 1.1, they offer a feature where you only need to change a conf file, and BOOM, your protected against XSS attacks!. DONE!.
Web developers REALLY need to STOP CODING THINGS FROM SCRATCH, unless you ARE YOU SUUUUUUUUUUUPER bad ass, in which case, you know who you are,
please code by hand, 
AND!, one more thing now that i’m at it!, what is up with all of those mvc frameworks!, there are probably over fifty of them!, STOP DEVELOPING NEW ONES, DIRECT YOUR ENERGY TO MAKING THE TOP ONES EVEN BETTER!.
