That does sound like a risk waiting to be exploited. However, if you
log off of websites properly, that would greatly mitigate the risk.

Hi.

I have just loaded the ie7 add-on 'open-last-tab', has anyone else had a
play with this? From initial results i have found this to be a great
'man-in-the-middle' attack tool.

Example on Bank site(no-names):

Log into your bank, open another tab within the window i.e. google.
Close the banking tab, hit Alt-X and the 'logged-in' banking window
re-opens. I have also attempted this on other applications and the
majority work. Can someone advise if M$ have provided us with a great
MITM plug-in tool?
