The Security Implications of Web 2.0
Michael Weider of Watchfire uses an interesting analogy to explain all the things that could go wrong with web 2.0.
A car that has less options has fewer things that can break. Power steering, power locks, power seats, seat warmers, and the myriad of other car features provide a better experience, but they also have more items that require maintenance.
The same can directly be applied to websites. While web 2.0 technologies open a whole new world of features and functionality for us, allowing us to have “a richer, more fulfilling web experience,” they also expose us to more security and privacy converns and vulnerabilities.
SC Magazine highlights the most common of these vulnerabilities that you need to be aware of.
