Re: A new type of phishing attack

There's a variant where the site pops open a new tab with the
legitimate site in it, e.g. when opening gmail you click on what
appears to be a mailto: link.  But the originating site gave the
window a name and can therefore redirect the site after a time to a
malicious one, particularly since the attacker can tell when you're
looking at his site and not gmail.
