Netcraft wrote:The latest Internet Explorer security holes offer new ways for phishing scams to present realistic spoofs of financial web sites. One of the flaws allow fraudsters to display the URL of a trusted site in Internet Explorer's address bar, while presenting content from a different web page in the browser window. Another vulnerability could allow sophisticated attackers to create spoofed pages displaying the golden "lock" icon indicating a secure SSL session, which has often been cited as a differentiator between legitimate sites and scams.

The worst thing of firefox is by replying or composing a message it doesn't add the bbcodes where the pointer is.. it adds to the ne of message.. that drives me crazy..
