Issue 4583: URL masquerading: wrong URL shown in the status bar when mouse hover over a link http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4583
New issue report by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Chrome Version : 0.4.154.22 on Vista SP1 32-bit URLs: http://www.tv-mafia.com/the_vicar_of_dibley Other browsers tested: Opera 7.6: FAIL Firefox 3: PASS IE 7: PASS What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Go to the above mentioned URL 2. Mouse over any of the Rapidshare links 3. The statusbar shows link target to be Rapidshare.com But when a link is visited, it turns out to be another website (linkbuks.com in this case). What is the expected result? The link destination should be the same website shown in the statusbar. What happens instead? The link goes to a different destination. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. This looks like an instance of URL masquerading and can be a potential security threat as well in phishing. Interestingly, Opera 7.6 suffers from the exact same issue, but FF 3.0 and IE 7 do not. They went straight to the real destination, rapidhare.com and did not end up in linkbucks.com at all. Initially, testing with FF, I thought maybe Ad-block is skipping over linkbucks.com but this turned out to be false when I tested IE 7, which is a vanilla installation of IE with no extra plugins or ad blockers. IE didn't go to linkbucks.com at all.
