Default GMail Vulnerable To Contact List Hijacking
"By simply logging in to GMail and visiting a website, a malicious website can steal your contact list, and all their details. The problem occurs because Google stores the contact list data in a Javascript file. So far the attack only works on Firefox, and doesn't appear to work in Opera or Internet explorer 7. IE6 was un-tested as of now."

Maybe this is built for Firefox Users and that's why it never harm IE7 Users. Strange.

Are there any solutions to prevent this Hijacking if we are using FireFox? And What is the status for the Netscape Browser?
