An issue with how QuickTime handles JavaScript in conjunction with a MySpace vulnerability is spreading through the popular social networking site, security firm Websense reports.

 

The video and the associated script will change links within the infected user's profile to links to phishing sites. In addition, it places itself on the profile in order to infect others. Viewing the video on another's MySpace profile would infect the viewers own, the firm said.

It's one of those things that would most likely never effect me because I don't use QuickTime nor MySpace.

 

Word! :)

 

 

NoScript Should protect you. I'm using it here and glad too.

 

I use NoScript too. I am pleased with it. Makes me feel safer.
