If you go to these threads and view the code being put out by the script, it will take over your commenting and replies for the thread outputing the same code. The best thing to do now if you…Check out the SEO Tools guide at Search Engine Journal.XSS Attack on Reddit

Here's Reddit's growth after spoiled Condé Nast execs took it over: Quantcast (Reddit is the lower line; news ranking competitor Digg the upper): ComScore, via TechCrunch (Reddit is the lower, red line): The departures of Ohanian and Huffman were anticipated.

Reddit founders Kn0thing and Spez have left the building. The social media juggernaut's founders Alexis (Kn0thing) and Steve (Spez) have declined to renew their contracts, prompting much discussion and speculation on reddit itself, and the incubator that helped it start up, Ycombinator.  

Reddit (reddit.com) is a social news website, and it's much better than Digg or Slashdot.However, it got hit today by a XSS worm that was spreading via comments on the site.It all started with a user called, suitably enough, xssfinder.His account has already been deleted.This user posted some test comments exploiting the fact that Reddit wasn't filtering out JavaScript in certain instances when you were hovering your mouse over text.When...

Don’t fret if that title doesn’t make any sense. This bacon-scented soap celebrating reddit’s admittedly adorable mascot doesn’t make any sense, either, except that, well, the alien is cute, and bacon is delicious. But with those truisms out of the way, there’s no explaining the bacon reddit soap. There is only…

Reddit founders Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian have just announced that they'll be leaving the company come October 31, when their contracts expire. The news doesn't come as a huge surprise — it will have been three years to the day that Condé Nast acquired Reddit, and the founders likely had a three year contract as part of the deal. Reddit's post notes that while co-founder Chris Slowe's contract also expired he'll be staying on board...  

The first bug wasn't really a bug, but a feature of markdown that we hadn't removed. This feature allowed one to specify a variable for replacement later on. This feature alone however was not enough to carry out the exploit. The second bug was also in the markdown library. To prevent double escaping of certain characters, they are run through MD5 after being escaped once, and then the MD5 is undone at the end. Since the MD5 is the same every...
