I don't know why these are such a big deal. Anyone that knows anything will tell you that Internet Security is about as secure as Military Intelligence is smart....

Of course, I have disabled my Facebook connect until Deano tells me it's safe to use again....

LOL. Not something i can fix. If the problem is in oauth, then facebook and all the others need to fix it.

Not something i am worried about. I will just keep running all of mine.

The person that gets hit will be the one who falls for going to a spoofed site anyway.
