How is this different than making just a normal link? Example: <a href="http://www.cybertrion.com">http://www.foo-labs.info</a> Am I missing something here? -- ~Andy Brezinsky On Wednesday 18 May 2005 3:27 pm, Bakchodiya wrote:
An issue has been discovered in MS Outlook (All Versions) where anyone can fake a URL & send it across. How does it work: Lets compose an email in MS Outlook, lets type http://www.cybertrion.com & put a space after it to make it a link. Now put your cursor just before cybertrion & type any URL for eg: http://www.foo-labs.info now send it to anyone. The receiver will see the URL as http://www.foo-labs.info but when he clicks on it it will directly take him to http://www.cybertrion.com I am not sure how critical this is but it can fool alot of people & result in download of a virus.
