Social news service Reddit is in the process of recovering from a worm that pummeled the site with malicious comments.

The cross-site scripting (XSS) worm emanated from the account of a user with the handle “xssfinder,” who discovered that Reddit wasn’t consistently filtering out JavaScript when a user moused over a link.

    Hello there,

    Thanks for sharing the link – but unfortunately it seems to be down? Does anybody here at tiiws.com have a mirror or another source?

    Cheers,
    Jack
