If you are using Firefox 2 or MS Explorer 7, your passwords might be at risk if your are using sites that allow user generated html such as blogs and popular social network site Myspace. Hear about it from CNet's podcast below:



Its called the Reverse Cross Site Request vulnerability (RCSR) hack and it allows hackers to steal usernames and passwords by presenting a fake log in form. Users of Firefox are more susceptible to the hack because it has the "Remember your password?" option. So if you are using a firefox browser, it would be best for you to disable this option until the these joy riding geeks at large can catch the vapors. A friend of mine already had her Myspace hacked, and it sent out porn bulletins to all her "friends." For more detailed info, or possible remedies, check out the article at ZDNet.
