Scripts running for a site have built in protections offered by modern browsers. There are some policies like "same-origin" meaning that the script would have to downloaded from that website intact to be executed. Any tampering of scripts will render it useless.
Any leaks here are a browser vulnerabiity, and will hit the news blogs as a "Chrome vulnerability", "IE vulnerability", etc.
Besides this, there are script injection, cross-site scripting and other techniques usually used by hackers in Forum websites, to break into other users privacy. We have protected against these hacks here.

So, as such, there are no vulnerabilities on this site.
The most important thing that members need to be aware of is their passwords getting hacked due to "social engineering". What this means is that, don't choose weak passwords based on your well-known public whereabouts. For example, if your nearest station in your profile is Bandra, and you have identified yourself in a blog as 20-years old, don't create a password called "bandra20". Such passwords are easily guessed by hackers. Technology cannot do anything about social hacks.
Thanks for bringing this up.
