Exploit can attack secure websites through ads

Some web-based exploits aremore dangerous than others... and unfortunately, this is one of the nasty ones. Security researchers at KU Leuven have discovered an attack technique, HEIST (HTTP Encrypted Information can be Stolen Through TCP-windows), that helps compromise an encrypted website using only a javascript file hidden in a maliciously-crafted ad or page. Unlike many similar attacks, you don't need a man-in-the-middle spot to make this work -- it can gauge the size of an encrypted response (and thus enable an attack) all on its own. Combine it with another technique and it's relatively easy to pluck sensitive info from encrypted data traffic, such as email addresses and banking details.
