image Phishing: Browsers: Opera Browser Phising image
Phishing
Greymagic software released its security advisory GM#007-OP yesterday announcing that Opera Browser users while using favicons (shortcut icons) in their browser bar and/or favorites may be injected with a hostile domain name leading Opera to think it is in fact trusted.

Solution, upgrade to 7.51 that was released on 03-Jun-2004.

Other popular browsers had their own problems with favicons. MSIE 5 was one such application. If you are truly paranoid, one might suggest using Links for Linux, a text based WWW browser. There is a Windows version called Lynx that runs on Unix, Linux, and Windows 95/98/NT.
