Google phishing and Firefox: the power of Open Source
What happens when a Chinese website goes phishing Google's gMail? Well, if you happen to have Internet Explorer (or other closed-source browsers) and you're not familiar with phishing techniques then you'll probably accidentally send your precious gMail password to that nasty Chinese website.
On the other hand, if you have Firefox, something different will happen, I received a stupid email a few hours ago. According to this concorso.lampa@gmail.com (I figured there's many different version of this in many languages) I won a Google lava lamp. Unfortunately, instead of going to google server, it redirects to menorca.cn, which I figured it to be Chinese crap.
In just a few hours, the Firefox community reported the website as possible phishing, providing us with an alert message.

Not a bad response time, not bad at all. Take that, nasty Chinese website!
