Episode Synopsis

Black Hat presenter Billy Hoffman, a researcher at SPI Dynamics, discusses the possibility of advanced Ajax based worms. In one scenario discussed, if an online stock broker site was breached, it could not only impact thousands of users on a site, but could potentially impact the stock market as a whole. These threats are more than theoretical, as the recent infection of MySpace has shown.
