The big news on the Internet today is the attack on Netscape.com.

As friction between AOL's new social bookmarking effort, the retooled Netscape.com, and Digg.com increases, it appears that today a rather major line has been crossed. Hackers, exploiting an XSS vulnerability, modified the Netscape site to throw pop-up alerts at visitors with pro-Digg comments, and in some cases even auto-forwarded users to Digg.com

Netscape announced earlier this afternoon that the vulnerability had been patched and users were now safe to browse the site Digg-spam free.
