Heist, New Exploit Discovered by Security Researchers !

Over the years we’ve seen a lot of different exploits that can be used to attack websites , actually an exploit it’s just a “way” to bypass your site security directly from your site or indirectly through third parties website (in this case through ads). The latest exploit discovered by security researchers is called heist (Http Encrypted information Stolen through TCP-Windows ), which is capable to attack secured websites (https) using only a javascript code which might be hidden in any ads. This can be prevented only if you disable third party cookies in your browser, also since this “exploit” is discovered I’m sure that browsers and other companies will release a security patch for that.

I have seen this, and it's quite alarming. Just how long has this been going on for? You'd think with all the updates these days that people would be able to find exploits more efficiently. There was the SSL exploit which effected thousands to millions of websites, and now this "new" Heist exploit..
