#Anonymous : Now is the Time to evolve or Die Anonymous was formed and birthed on the internet message board 4chan in 2003. The moniker Anonymous was derived as homage to 4chan. At the time, if someone posted to 4chan's forums and no name was given then the post was credited to "Anonymous". Seizing onto the premise or the idea that actions can be taken anonymously by the lesser or powerless "Anonymous" moved beyond 4Chan and morphed into sometime larger and more potent. The original premise of "Anonymous" appeared to be a limited but noble idea; attempting to keep the internet open and free because governments and corporations were earnestly trying and demanding limits and restrictions to the freedom of expression on the internet. To date "Anonymous" has remained a banner that many channers, as well as hacktivists and IRC users, post under and are loosely grouped together. Allied under the umbrella of "Anonymous" with no real command structure in the group, "Anonymous" rem...

myOpenID XSS : One of the Largest OpenID provider is Vulnerable One of the One of the Largest Independent OpenID provider " myOpenID " is Vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) ,Discovered by " SeeMe " - Member of Inj3ct0r Team. Cross Site Scripting (or XSS) is one of the most common application-layer web attacks. What Hacker can do - "The attackers can steal the session ID of a valid user using XSS. The session ID is very valuable because it is the secret token that the user presents after login as proof of identity until logout. If the session ID is stored in a cookie, the attackers can write a script which will run on the user's browser, query the value in the cookie and send it to the attackers. The attackers can then use the valid session ID to browse the site without logging in. The script could also collect other information from the page, including the entire contents of the page".
