Another scary thing is this "URL spoofing". Under certain circumstances
some web browsers display an incomplete URL in the address bar. That is,
you may see "http://register.ebay.com" but the actual address is
" which means you don't "go" to the
eBay site but to that 192... domain. From what I have read, that affects
various IE versions.

For Mozilla users there is the %00 trick which unfortunately ;-) only
works with the status bar at the bottom. People who check links by
looking at that bar before they click would see, for example,
"http://www.mozilla.org" but the actual link would be
". In this case you would at
least notice the difference when you get to the "target" page with the
address bar visible.
