Oh boy, so little time, so many things to do... Nevertheless, here's my
catching up:

- Top Ten Cyber Security Menaces for 2008
http://www.sans.org/2008menaces/
1) Web site attacks on browsers
(...)
4) Mobile phone threats
5) Insider attacks
(...)
9) Web application exploits
(...)

This is curious. I consider the insider attacks more harmful than any
other. The weaklink is always human, not machine. 

- JavaScript-based injection attacks
http://google-caja.googlecode.com/svn/changes/mikesamuel/string-interpolation-29-Jan-2008/trunk/src/js/com/google/caja/interp/index.html
The document detail an injection attack against a SQL database and
points another class of problems that are particularly problematic: HTML
injection, by browser extensions, allowing web-based content to access
privileged code in the browser.

This reminds me of the times when we disabled javascript (dont we still
do?) in our browser due to security problems. But now there's Ajax and
all that fancy tech, still insecure.
