Mozilla have released an updated version of their Firefox web browser (1.0.1) to change their support for IDN (International Domain Names) after a flaw was found in all existing browser implementations of IDN. The updated Firefox can be downloaded here. IDN will no doubt be re-enabled once the standard implementation is fixed. I doubt that 99% of the population will even notice the IDN issue. Basically the updated Firefox will display the “punycode” in the status bar, so that the paypal phish shown at above link would appear in the status bar as http://www.pаypal.com/ which should indicate to everyone that the URL is bogus.
