Internet Explorer Bug Allows Hackers to Steal Facebook Credentials !!!!!

[INDRANIL]

The hack works by exploiting a flaw in the IE security zones feature, a feature which can be used to tell users which sites are malicious and which are trustworthy. The hacker embeds a special iframe tag in the malicious website and the browser exposes the cookies on the victim’s computer once the user does that drag and drop thing.

The hack isn’t really that easy. First, the hacker must somehow make the user drag and drop an object across the computer’s screen. It would be quite a bit suspicious if somebody randomly asks you to do that, so Valotta devised a way to make people do this without arousing suspicion. He created a puzzle challenging users to ‘undress’ a photo of a beautiful woman and posted it on his Facebook account. He got 80 cookies within just three days -- and he only had 150 friends.

Thanks for the headsup Indra. I can't even remember the last time I used "drag and drop" so they will have to figure out some other way to hook me!

Thanks for the information INDRANIL. I try to stay away from that site anyway.

Like I said before. FB is a pr0n site. Is this for all IE versions?

1% chance is pretty disappointing for the attacker, who would have the patience to do it? Whack a mole! LOL

Maybe the attacker is starting out small and working his way up to bigger things.

Where's the "photo of a beautiful woman"? You can take my credentials but you better make sure that the photo is worth it.
