Briefly: Safari "phishing," Buy.com iPod closeout...

In brief:: Max Ziebell explains how the deceptive practice known as "phishing" (the act of making one website appear to be another) is still possible with Apple's Safari browser using IDN-Domains.... Buy.com is selling the previous generation iPod Photo (with all accessories) for $430 (60 GB) and $340 (40 GB).... Apple will attend and exhibit at MacExpo Deutschland this June, according to organizers of the event.... The Apple Store retail outlet dominated a monthlong online survey about what stores shoppers would like to see at the Twenty Ninth Street shopping center when it opens next year.

That implies apple has released a 'fix' for this problem, which they haven't. So of course its still possible.

The most prudent advice

On any platform is simple:

DON'T CLICK LINKS IN E-MAILS!!!!!

Just type in the website in your browser.

Do that and 100% of the phishing scams go away.

That being said, Apple should fix it similarly to hoe FF 1.01 handles it.
