Talk:Iframe virus

Merge request: XSS worm
Since it's primarily script-based (i.e. cross-site scripting) viruses/worms that get embedded in HTML iframe elements, should be merged/redirected to XSS worm. Then again, embed tags are also used by other XSS malware... and I'm sure a "Category:XSS malware" page would also be of help here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BCA6:A040:BDC3:8B96:67DA:DAB2 (talk) 07:08, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Closing stale merge propsoal; no support in over 5 years and no reference demonstrating equivalence. Klbrain (talk) 21:57, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * You've quickly reversed my close, which is fine. However, I wonder could you comment on whether or not you support the merge proposal. It seems like no-one has commented on this since that anonymous user back in 2013. My position is that the claim of equivalence is unreferenced and not evident from the page contents.

 * This article doesn't have reliable references so I wouldn't rely on them. I can't find any others so I'd merge the useful content somewhere. In my opinion that would be the Frame injection article. w umbolo   ^^^  22:39, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Sounds reasonable; formally proposed this new target. Klbrain (talk) 18:37, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Looked again at this; Frame injection page suggest that it relates to only one browser; Iframe virus seems broader, but I still can't see evidence that they're an overlapping set, other than similarity in the name. There, in the absence of evidence of similariy, oppose merge. Improve or delete might be better options. Klbrain (talk) 17:53, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * This article should definitely not be merged with XSS worm, as that's something completely different. Merging with frame injection is quite doubtful too; that article describes a specific security issue in some older browsers, and not malware. If they are merged, careful attention needs to be taken to make sure the resulting article only has one topic. Something like: "iframe security concerns" (not a title suggestion!) perhaps? --DanielPharos (talk) 20:19, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

It doesn't make sense
it said it was injecting iframe code into websites, but it also said you need the server password iframe is a line of code that allows other websites to be shown in one website, but the way it is written sounds like the user had consent to putting in the iframe tags, they'refor, i think this is just a made up story of people who observed what the iframe tag does and assumed it was a virus --2605:6000:4003:9600:99cf:9891:4095:d769
 * If you click the first reference, there's a pretty good (but undetailed) description of what is meant by "iframe virus". Feel free to improve the wording of this article to better reflect that and your own knowledge, but don't just replace all the text with some comment like you did before. --DanielPharos (talk) 16:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
