Browsers, phishing, and user interface design

In the immortal words of someone, "No s#$t!"

I don't see how any of this information is actually surprising unless you live under a rock infested solely with geeks. Until the issue consistently gets more attention in mainstream media there are going to be many people who just don't understand/care because it hasn't yet affected them in a major way. Even at that point there will still be plenty who don't understand/care.
