Default New internet scam, watch out...

This seems to be a farily new scam. Not sure how many crooks are up to speed on it yet.

There's a video on it at how to stop tabnabbing.

It's called tabnabbing (hmmm, bit of a wierd name). Was going to explain it but can't be bothered. Basically if you got tabs on your browser (which most do) then website owners can pull a nasty trick.

Just a heads up for the superbowlers.

Here's a better explanation, with an actual demonstration within the page.

This is from Aza Raskin, the Creative Lead for Firefox.
