It is always to be taken for granted, that those who oppose an equality of rights never mean the exclusion should take place on themselves

Paypal address bar hack on Firefox

A paypal phish just came in that had some interesting features. Using Firefox with NoScript, I connected to the site and it tried to redirect me. With NoScript on it didn't succesfully redirect but it presented me with a "Go here" link. I did so, and got the attached screen - note that it tried to replace my addressbar but failed, creating a new addressbar instead.

Netcraft identified the site as a Phish.

I'd like to see what this does to IE but I don't have a virtual machine right now and don't want to allow the site to hack my real machine.

JaBbA says DON'T Check it out!
