A major new security risk has been discovered in almost all popular web browsers - including IE, Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and others.

It allows a malicious website to take control of a popup window that has been opened in a legitimate website. The implications of this for online banking are frightening, because you are TOTALLY unaware that anything is amiss.

The internet security site “Secunia” has a demonstration of how it works at

I got quite a fright when I tried the demonstration.
And at present, there’s no fix.

About the only thing that you can do to protect yourself is to have only one browser window open at any one time.
