Browser phishing 'flaw' could hook users | |
|
||
| Time: 02:15 EST/07:15 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

A function built into all major browsers could be co-opted by attackers to fool Web site visitors into surrendering sensitive information, a security firm warned on Wednesday. The issue, which security firm Secunia labeled a flaw, could allow a malicious Web site to refer visitors to a legitimate site--such as a bank's Web site--and then control the content displayed in a pop-up windows. The issue affects Microsoft's Internet Explorer, the Mozilla Foundation's Mozilla and Firefox browsers, Opera's browser, the open-source Konqueror browser and Apple Computer's Safari, the firm stated in advisories on its site. | ||

| Firefox on XP allowed it, IE 6 SP2 didn't allow it. I wonder if I don't have my popup blocker settings properly set in Firefox? Anybody know of an extra setting? I only see one setting under Tools > Options > Web Features > Block Popups. |

| The popup blocker went nuts in my IE as well, but it never opened a window. In fact it got pretty annoying as it kept blocking it. I finally justed X'ed out. |
