[pchelpers] News:Hackers welcome Web 2.0

3:52PM, Thursday 22nd March 2007
According to security experts, companies embracing web 2.0 technologies
could open themselves up to new forms of attack by hackers. 

The fact that these technologies introduce both JavaScript and XML onto
the desktop to mediate between the browser and the web server makes
things more problematic, said Pete Simpson, ThreatLab manager at content
security company Clearswift, speaking at a round table event.

It makes the work of the developer more difficult to design and test the
security of these new applications, he said. And, in turn, this allows
hackers to combine techniques to infiltrate and subvert systems.
