Homograph attacks allow for the spoofing of domain name URLs and SSL certificates thanks to a problem with International Domain Name [IDN] support in modern browsers. This is devastating.

Vulnerable browsers include (but are not limited to):

Most mozilla-based browsers (Firefox 1.0, Camino .8.5, Mozilla 1.6, etc)
Safari 1.2.5
Opera 7.54
Omniweb 5
Proof of concept. Damn. IE is safe because it doesn't have IDN support built in. Let's see how fast these vendors respond. They need to fix this immediately.
