This paper shows that more than 80% of the e-governments in the world are vulnerable to common web-application attacks such as Cross Site Scripting and Structured Query Language (SQL) injection. Industrialised countries were found to be more vulnerable than under-developed countries (90% versus 50%). This paper also describes some malicious data mining possibilities on the Norwegian e-government and how information can be combined and used to create other practical attacks.
