I caught up with Iftach Ian Amit from Finjan right after his talk at Defcon. He explained why widgets and gadgets on various websites and platforms are inherently insecure, despite the fact that standards exist to create secure gadgets. No platform is safe from these insecurities, as evidenced by a currently unpatched Microsoft vulnerability that Ian wasn’t willing to discuss in detail.
