#87090 - warning, they got you too
http://www.virus112.dk/dk/news/s...wsere.html

abbreviated translation: A fault has been found in several browsers, for once, not IE. Mozilla, Konqueror, Safari, Opera og Firefox will not detect false sources that include "domain names with international characters looking like other characters" because they use a standardized method (Internationalised Domain Names) of representing domain names. This can be used to make the reader believe the source is a trusted website. Thia can be used e.g. for phishing and thus Virus112 recommend that you only open verified valid links. (my opinion: that should always be the case)
