IE Flaw Allows Spoofed URLs. A newly discovered flaw in Internet Explorer allows the browser to display a spoofed URL in its address and status bars, making it easier for Internet scam artists to trick web users into sharing sensitive data with bogus web sites. [Netcraft]

Yawn.  This spoof is really old, I do believe.  Folks have used it or something very like it to do things likes spoof MSFT sites, fake news events, etc.  Some of the web's less savory tenants have used spoofed addresses like this to drive clicks through ads for a long time.  Other browsers are alos suspectible to being mislead in a variety of ways.
