XSS Flaw Sends Obama Web Site Visitors to Clinton Camp
On the eve of the presidential primary in Pennsylvania, an online prankster leveraged a security vulnerability on Sen. Barack Obama's campaign Web site to redirect visitors to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign site.
According to Symantec, someone embedded computer code into a posting on the Obama blog. The content in this case targeted cross-site scripting flaw (XSS), an exceedingly common type of vulnerability that can be used to automatically redirect Web browsers viewing the affected page to another site.

When Camping it is a good idea to share the same port-o-pottie so they don't over pollute the environment.

I can only imagine the panic that set in when The Clinton camp went to the Obama website to check up on him only to be redirected right back from whence they came. |
