Re: [Full-disclosure] Google is vulnerable from XSS attack



[drama]
[wild imagination]

***Millions of e-mail addresses exposed to hackers***

*Hacker gets access to every group, made easier by his/her worm script
(likely a hacker would do this)
*Hacker harvests all e-mail addresses exposed and sells to spammer
(likely a hacker would do this)
*Hacker deletes all groups on network, made easier by his/her worm
script (unlikely a hacker would do this)

Assuming the hacker still has access to administrative controls for
every group, he/she can conitinue to harvest new e-mail addresses and
delete groups with the flaw patched.

How much is an e-mail list of that size worth to spammers? I'm sure a
hacker always fancied being a millionaire.
