RSS was only known before as a “techie tool” but has now grown at a lightening speed and has become a tool that is continuously being utilized by the general population. RSS’ security has been questioned as it gains enormous popularity. But RSS’ podcasting phenomenon is where its vulnerabilities lie. RSS can be used in distributing file types like word documents, images, mp3 files, etc which can be a root of concern although most people may not feel that the risk is significant. They think that by choosing the content that they receive in their mails, security should not be something to be worried about, which is quite wrong. The danger lies in the mere fact that lots of RSS readers, pod-catchers or news aggregators automatically download information contained in the enclosure field despite its file type or source.
