New method for phishing discovered by Aza Raskin “creative” lead for firefox.

I won't bother to try to describe the attack in my own words. The article is not a hard read, for those who want to look at it.
FWIW, NoScript could easily block this attack.
I did not bother to check to see if there is any setting in FF that would disable or at least warn of the attack. Perhaps there is a FF workaround fix somewhere "under the hood". It's not really a bug, but perhaps more of a UI design problem?
