Strange ...
Wasn't address bar spoofing supposedly fixed months ago in ALL browsers? What gives!??

Here I reading this article expecting to see one of these "luring" schemes which usually are successful because most people are just computer morons ... but instead, I'm reading about an actual address spoof that was supposed to have been patched ages ago.

Man, I gotta tell you, the IE exploits are just piling on lately aren't they? I seems like someone has found a very bad flaw in the whole architecture of IE that is being used to totally exploit the ENTIRE internet construction of it. This is a little different than the "hit and miss" holes. They say that it has not been exploited yet ... give it a couple of days, just like the one 2 weeks ago. They said the same thing and then .... WHACK! 200 sites running exploits to unpatched IE browsers. BTW, is that patch still only "in the making"?

And I totally agree with a couple of the previous posters .... Firefox! It's definitely the best alternative.

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with IE's architecture and someone found something BIG... and I don't think MS can fix it!
