Grossman recounts a 2005 ABC News (AU) Four Corners interview in which he demonstrated XSS against the broadcaster's own site, fabricating a convincing news story that linked the reporter to Al Qaeda, then another awarding him a Pulitzer. ABC's security team asked for details and fixed it within days.
