Is TSG website vulnerable?
http://www.foregroundsecurity.com/My...cy-issues.html


Quote:
This vulnerability allows the same-origin policy of Adobe Flash to be exploited to allow nearly any site that allows user generated content to be attacked. No fix for this vulnerability currently exists.

This is frightening in that 99% of internet users worldwide use Adobe Flash. Almost everyone using the internet is vulnerable to a website that allows content to be updated inappropriately. That's not hyperbole - it's just fact.

We don't allow Javascript or Flash to be put into posts, so I don't think this particular vulnerability affects TSG.
