In the last six months I am starting to see some inventive screen lock up pop ups that the only way out of is to kill the whole Safari browser with a force quit. My wife got one searching doll clothes sites.
Do you think we are going to see a Safari patch that will lock such pop ups out of opening or do you think it is still something that is going to have to get a lot more perverse before it reaches a remedy?

Later research on the keychain vulnerability reveals that:
"There is some good news: the Keychain items you already have stored don’t appear to be susceptible to the exploit, only new ones that are created after a malicious app is installed." — The Next Web.Com
