URL Hiding - new method of URL Spoofing attacks

URL Hiding - new method of URL Spoofing attacks - Websecurity

Some sites are listed in Google results with no URL shown at all, spotted on a domain whose name begins with an underscore. Chained with the author's earlier URL-spoofing tricks, this hides a long or suspicious address from the user twice over - absent from the result page, then misread in the address bar - which helps phishing and malware delivery.
