Additional comment on the BREACH exploit
Without wishing to minimize the importance of this attack type, one
thing to definitely keep in mind is that this exploit involves the
interaction of a malicious website. If you've visited such a site in
the first place, in many cases all bets are already off the table --
that is, you may already have become vulnerable in a number of ways
unrelated to this particular exploit.
