Pretty big security vulnerability that affects a ton of websites. Probably should be careful and aware as you log into sites in the next couple days while everyone scrambles to fix it. >_>

So far the most noteworthy site affected was for silly people who still use yahoo mail and those exploting the bug were able to get random usernames and passwords from it. Though they've apparently updated with the fix now. <_<
