Exclamation Firefox and IE Password Warning !!!

Users of Firefox or Explorer, both of which may be vulnerable to the attack known as "Reverse Cross Site Request" (RCSR), are not fooled directly by the password theft exploit. Instead, it provides a fake login site that fools a browser's saved password feature into automatically providing the information, Robert Chapin, president of Chapin Information Services, reported.
