Yeah, isn't the Security hole actually in IE, which gives up
your username/password to anybody who asks for it so long as
you press okay at that dialog?  Firefox wouldn't do that.

Seems like a pretty easy way to Phish.  The problem is actually

I haven't tested it.  It's too obvious a gaping hole.  I must
be overlooking something.
