The Shmoo Group has discovered a homograph attack in a number of web browsers:
http://www.shmoo.com/idn/

This issue allows an attacker supply a domain name that looks like a common
name, but is an International Domain Name.  This issue would allow various
attacks to steal information from an unsuspecting vitim.
