Javascript dialogue box flaw affects ALL browsers

A flaw allowing untrusted sites to harvest personal information, such as passwords, after you've left that site and gone to a trusted one, such as a bank site, affects all browsers except Opera v8.01 (just released). Secunia has a test on their web site to see if your browser is vulnerable.

The flaw has to do with how browsers handle javascript dialogue boxes. Everyone is working on a fix. Stay tuned.
