In india, they are household names. Surprisingly, these host loads of cross site scripting issues, which went unreported till date. Or, they might be classified as known issues. One of my friends from Grad School, tried to analyse these sites for the layers of security they expose, and results were simply mind blowing. He claims that within 15 minutes, you accounts on these sites can be brought down, and mails can be stolen. He has written more about this in his blog here.
Sharekhan is typically a financial website, so i am surprised that it is also vulnerable so easily. These are all set to loose the credibility.
Sudhir reports that indiatimes is the most easy target of all. This issue has been reported to these sites, but no response yet. There are people can create a havoc out of this.
