+# Working with AJAX and CSRF
+
+> "Take a close look at possible CSRF / XSRF vulnerabilities on your own websites. They're the worst kind of vulnerability -- very easy to exploit by attackers, yet not so intuitively easy to understand for software developers, at least until you've been bitten by one."
+>
+> — [Jeff Atwood][cite]
+
+* Explain need to add CSRF token to AJAX requests.
+* Explain deferred CSRF style used by REST framework
+* Why you should use Django's standard login/logout views, and not REST framework view
