Windows Not the Only One With Security Problems
In the rush to embrace Web 2.0-style apps and development, some have turned
a blind eye to a problem Microsoft knows all too well: security. For instance,

JavaScript messages. Google and Microsoft AJAX tools are both affected.
One answer, an analyst says, is to use authentication when transmitting private
information.
