Do You Know Where Your Browser Is?

April 14, 2006

Concerned about Internet security? Who isn't?

Interesting and useful item from PCMag.com about spoofing the Internet Explorer Address Bar. Here's a summary: A new bug was found in IE 6.0 that allows a Web site to display a URL in your address bar that is different than the URL of the site that's displayed on your browser. That means your address bar could say "Amazon.com" but you're really on some hacker's Web site on the other side of the world. That's scary. It's no surprise that another major security flaw has been discovered in Internet Explorer, so please find out if you are at risk (unless you're singing a different tune).
