This is one of those meaningless statements. It's a bit like saying that ID
theft has always existed and that you should always keep your wallet safe.

What I would like to know is: Does AJAX make the problem larger or smaller?

Computers have the unfortunate ability to magnify weaknesses. The time between
hitting the return key and "Oops, I shouldn't have done that" is reducing in
proportion to Moore's law.
