IE pop-up spoofing problem won't get patch | CNET News.com

IE pop-up spoofing problem won't get patch | CNET News.com: "Microsoft does not plan to update Internet Explorer to prevent a spoofing attack that could trick users into giving out personal information to hackers.

In the attack, JavaScript is used to display a pop-up window in front of a trusted Web site. The pop-up appears to be part of the legitimate site, but actually is linked to a different, malicious site. A user might be fooled into sending personal information to the scammers."

This is another reason why I am never switching back to IE!
