JavaScript is very secure if used properly. For one thing, Hushmail doesn’t allow any JavaScript from external sources, such as emails, to ever be executed. Other concerns are resolved by the Same Origin Policy which is implemented by all browsers to ensure that any piece of JavaScript can only access documents that came from the same domain, and via the same protocol, as it did.
