Mozilla and Firefox patch fixes exploit, 12 hours later


Yesterday, I blooged about a
new exploit that attacked internationalized browsers and made it easy to run "phishing" attacks against them. Frank sez, " Firefox and Mozilla builds for last night repair the disableIDN toggle functionality so that it works as designed. Now you can permanently protect your browser from IDN miscreants." As Waxy points out, that took about 12 hours. (Thanks, Frank!)
