New IE 7 Flaw Aids Phishers
Published March 23rd, 2007 in Browser Security, Internet Explorer 7, Phishing, Security
A vulnerability in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) browser could help fraudsters make phishing 
websites appear legitimate, a security researcher reported Wednesday. The flaw lies in the way IE7 processes a locally stored HTML error message page that is typically shown when the user cancels the loading of a webpage, said Aviv Raff, a security researcher based in Israel.
The error message tells the user that "navigation to the webpage was canceled," and offers the user the opportunity to "refresh the page." New IE 7 Flaw Aids Phishers - Security Feed - News - CSO Magazine
