AJAX
by gautam on August 7, 2006

Just go through some of the attacks which shook the cyber world:
Recent high-profile attacks include June's Yamanner computer worm, designed to harvest e-mail addresses from Yahoo mail users and send them to spammers in Europe; and Spaceflash, which installed adware (advertisements and tracking programs implanted surreptitiously) on the hard drives of more than a million MySpace users.
Those for-profit intrusions were foreshadowed by last October's milestone Samy worm. Created by a youthful hacker, Samy used an Ajax attack to infect a million MySpace users for the express purpose of adding them to the hacker's friends list -- to make him seem popular. MySpace had to shut down for a day to clean up Samy.
These attacks are just the tip of the iceberg. In future get ready for attacks which would get better and better.
