Do you visit pornographic websites? Do you visit gambling-related sites? If you do, think twice again - you are at risk. According to a report by BBC, quoting Symantec, website hackers can learn loopholes of your websites through your browser that has touched a porn or gambling site, or an unsecured website. The BBC report reads:
Kevin Hogan, director of security operations at Symantec, said the bug-ridden web code was putting visitors to many entirely innocent sites at risk.
"It overturns the whole notion that if you stay away from gambling and porn sites you are okay," he said.
The attack that a malicious hacker can carry out via these web code vulnerabilities is known as cross-site scripting (abbreviated as XSS).
