An HTML5 Exploit Can Fill Your Entire Hard Drive Quick
SourceA 22-year-old Web developer from Stanford, Feross Aboukhadijeh, has discovered that a slip-up in the implementation of HTML5 in Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari (Opera has been ruled out) can be exploited to fill a viewer's entire hard drive. He even offers a proof-of-concept of the exploit, and a demonstration page backing up his discovery.
For those who want to see their hard drive load up with data through a web browser, check out FillDisk.com.

This exploit doesn't seem to work in Incognito mode. Can anyone else confirm?If clicking on the "Stop the madness" button fails to give back your disk space, you can reclaim it manually (in Chrome) by going to Preferences > Show advanced settings... > Content settings > All cookies and site data... > search for "filldisk" > Remove all.
