Ars Technica reports that latest version of Internet Explorer has a bug that leaks information typed in the address bar. Any currently visited site can view that text it has been entered. I'm pretty sure most are not using IE except maybe for work or help relatives still stuck using a Compaq. Naturally, users are urged to use any other non-IE browser.
See a demonstration.
The proof-of-concept makes it transparent that the attacking website is viewing the entered text. The hack, however can easily be modified to make the information theft completely stealthy...
