New browser popup vulnerability

Filed under: — adam @ 7:22 pm

Basically, a window in the background can hijack a popup from a window in the foreground, and you won’t know about it.

HOWEVER – the Firefox extension Spoofstick sees right through this, and is present on popups as well as regular windows. Spoofstick helps. Get it.
