out of every 10 Web sites contain a security vulnerability that could be
exploited by hackers to steal information or shut down the Web site, according

of the vulnerabilities were SQL injection flaws, which allow hackers to send
commands in the SQL database access language, and 42 percent were Cross Site
Scripting vulnerabilities, which hackers use to submit JavaScript or another
code to steal past orders such as credit card information or passwords. The
study's author says the results clearly show that unsafe Web applications are
being completely ignored.
