[XSSed] F-Secure, McAfee and Symantec websites again XSSed

Once again, the websites of the three famous antivirus vendors are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. The vulnerabilities were reported by "Zeitjak" and "dick" back in mid-April 2011 and appear to be working still. They can be triggered on the latest Firefox but not on the latest Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, due to the built-in XSS protection which is enabled by default.

Malicious people can exploit the vulnerabilities to perform drive-by-download attacks against visitors and faithful customers.

One thing is sure... when such vulns go public, usually all the three vendors do their best to correct them quickly.
