Baransi, the owner of Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, rush backed to work. Employees told me he came in and looked around, asked where I was from, what food we have, where was I," said Baransi. The question everyone continues to ask is "Why?" The business owner is from Israel, and has his native country's flag right next to the American flag. When asked if he felt he was targeted, he said...

The trick uses International Domain Name (IDN) character support (using foreign characters that resemble American alphabet letters) to trick your browser into showing fake domain names in hyperlinks and in the address bar. IE doesn't support IDN (though it can via plug-in), so by default isn't vulnerable. More detail in this advisory from the group that discovered it.
