As most of expatriate, I'm aware of what are the news in my country (France) by watching news websites, mostly, I'm watching France 24 which claims to be the French CNN... Anyway, I was watching some videos, and at the end, like on some websites I'm going (depending on if I have time etc.) I looked at how it works, if it has vulnerabilities etc. Of course, it has some, I will not tell here because I didn't tell them yet, but you can find on the most easy way XSS. What's different with other websites? Nothing but they give information, so people trust them.
There are several types of websites, but I could say that their behavior fits in 3 different categories:

• They give information: news, tv, radio etc.
• They store personal information: webmails, commerce, forums etc.
• The others: blog, personal/companies websites etc.

While XSS'ing that website, I thought that it could have a huge impact to be able to change information (we could have seen that with the story of Apple and the wrong news on eGadget...) . Of course, everybody reading this blog is aware of this, but I'm pretty sure that most of other people just think that vulnerabilities are used to get information, not to store.
So, nothing much here, just thought about how a simple SQL Injection, Permanent XSS, File Inclusion or even information/credentials disclosure could have a huge impact on the World :/

On that conclusion, I could say that the information websites and others security/integrity, as christian1 said month ago, belongs to theses companies! They must understand that without a real strict management of their security, their information could be stolen, replaced by bad people and they must be responsible of that since they are making lot of money on that...
