It is also yet another reminder that webkeys would fix these problems if people would just implement them. Or 2FACC if people would just implement that. Sigh.

Subject: [cap-talk] A new type of phishing attack

Interesting new phishing idea:

http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/a-new-type-of-phishing-attack/

Basically exploiting a typical user's workflow where they have multiple tabs open. This highlights the real need for a functional petname system.

As a trivial countermeasure, I wonder if it's really necessary for JavaScript to run on inactive tabs.
