Re: [jug-discussion] Off topic -- URL spoofing with IE

[Thomas Hicks]

I received one of these just the other week, purporting
to be from PayPal! The message content was suspicious
anyway, as it asked for a re-verification of my credit card.
So I scrutinized the URLs and found exactly what is described.
I reported it to PayPal (in some detail) but that email seems
to have been totally ignored. Moral: this is really being exploited.

In case you haven't heard, there's been a stupidly simple way found to
spoof URLs in Internet Explorer.
You can find the details here: http://www.secunia.com/advisories/10395/

I thought it would be good to mention this here because the bug is very
easy to exploit but I've seen no mention of it in the mass media.
