New Phishing Flaw in Internet Explorer
Hey kids,
I just read this on Slashdot, thought I would share.
Maybe not a pressing issue, but interesting anyway!

Strange, firefox throws up a different result each time for me - it will either just go straight to Google - and say google in the address bar - or it will go to secunia site - say google.com in the address bar for a second or two and then change to the correct URL and prompt me to D/L a .fla file.
What happens with y'all?

Fully patched IE with XP home (patched) is vulnerable
secunias web site warning
Your browser is vulnerable if the Address Bar displays "http://www.google.com/".
and the address bar shows google

Debian Sarge with KDE 3.5 (from backports.com) and Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1 is not vulnerable. Hmmmm.
But then, we knew that.

The url does look a bit off. A few %20 or %3 jumping in the bar but nothing to say its google or so.

The test worked in my fully patched IE (WinXP pro NL) but the netcraft toolbar did show it as SECUNIA..
So antiphishing tools prove their worth..

In answer to Nokia's question, I tried it with Firefox 1.07 and Win 2000 SP4 updated a few hours ago and it goes to Secunia every time.

No probs with FF, but had to set the security level on IE to medium and mark prompt on the scripting options before it would go to the Secunia site....now I am okay....
