Just read about this, and thought it was kinda scary.. I usually don't fall for such tricks but this one is harder to notice.

How it works:
Someone give you a link (in this case, up /\ - it's just a demo, dont worry! xD).
U click the link, then you switch to another tab in your browser...
after a while, the site u entered at first has changed to something that looks like Gmail.
And u know why its so scary?
1. When u login at what u think is gmail. U will be redirected to the real page (because you were probably already logged in in the first place) and u won't notice a thing. Your passwords has already been sent to some n00b d00d who wants to steal ur mails! (this works for banks etc to, so be careful)
2. It works on all browsers, and on Windows/Mac~
3. It can check what site u visits often and then make a fake page of it,
so if your online bank site shows up in a tab in your browser, but you cant remember entering the site urself, close it to be safe!
What do u think, would u fall for it?
