Spoofing bug found in IE 7

Security experts have found <A HREF="http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-6129626.html?tag=nl.e589">a weakness in Internet Explorer 7</A> that could help crooks mask phishing scams, the type of attack Microsoft designed the browser to thwart. IE 7, released last week, allows a Web site to display a pop-up that can contain a spoofed Web address, security monitoring company Secunia said Wednesday. An attacker could exploit this weakness to trick people into believing they are on a trusted Web site when in fact they are viewing a malicious page, Secunia said in an alert.
