Reddit Javascript Exploit Spreading Virally 239
Nithendil writes "guyhersh from reddit.com describes the situation (warning: title NSFW): Based on what I've seen today, here's what went down. Reddit user Empirical wrote javascript code where if you copied and pasted it into the address bar, you would instantly spam that comment by replying to all the comments on the page and submitting it. Later xssfinder posted a proof of concept where if you hovered over a link, it would automatically run a Javascript. He then got the brilliant idea to combine the two scripts together, tested it and it spread from there."

The only fucking thing NSFW about the link is that it fucking says "What the fuck" in the title. And if you can read my fucking comment, you can go ahead and fucking click that link.
And here's another "Fuck" just for the heck of it.
Warning: my comment was NSFW and should not have been read.
