Microsoft SharePoint and LinkedIn data at risk from Framesniffing Attacks

Latest Context blog provides simple fix to protect Internet and Intranet sites at www.contextis.com/research/blog/framesniffing

(PresseBox) (London, )
Context Information Security has highlighted a weakness in Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari web browsers that enables remote attackers to steal sensitive information held on private Microsoft SharePoint sites, as well as mine data from other public websites such as LinkedIn. In these Framesniffing Attacks, a hidden HTML frame is used to load a target website inside the attacker's malicious webpage to read information about the content and structure of the framed pages. The attack bypasses browser security restrictions that are meant to prevent webpages directly reading the contents of third-party sites loaded in frames.
