Use Internet Explorer? Watch what you click on! (info)
http://www.paypal.com@www.honda-acura.net
If you use IE, the HAN main page should load and in your address bar you will see the www.paypal.com address. Once the page is loaded there's no way to know.
It's a bug. I'm sure they'll fix it.... someday. Firebird is not affected by this. Didn't try netscape, cause it just sucks.
Just a heads up. Cause I bet there will be a lot of hoax and fake emails coming around that will try and trick you into going to their page and thinking it's something else.

i believe a patch for this may have been released this week. have you run windoze update recently?
it occurs to me this isnt exactly a bug.
if i make an html resource:
<a href="www.paypaltostealyourpassword.com">www.paypal.com</a>
it's essentially the same thing. and can be just as "dangerous" to the feeble minds.

This is a bit diffrent. This loads one page, but actually shows the address bar as something diffrent.
