Better explain what I mean with an example, imagine that a lamer send us an e-mail content a link very tempting but infect and that we naively click on it, as we open a new window as we open a new tab the result will not change minimally.
The link infected may be not created problem suddenly, but it can create them in the moment we forgot to open a new tab or new windows or simply just the rush to finish work quickly rather than pure and simple mistake we click on the button to return back to there is in the toolbar of the browser.
At this point theoretically the browser should not go anywhere, instead sometimes in some browser it’s possible see that magically opens the screen of our internal e-mail, which is precisely what we were reading before and it’s not a fake screen, it’s our mailbox, complete with e-mail already read and unread ones.
Now for the lamer that’s it, he/she have access to all our data, all data that we have insert, name, nick name, address, name and e-mail of our contacts, mailing list where we are members, groups, if we are owner of groups also at data of our members, etcetera etcetera.
More keep the window open more evil intent can take information about us, read our e-mail without being noticed, or some record data directly on your PC and the entire site if they read quietly when he gets home from work.
What can we do to defend ourselves?
It's must use the correct security settings for each browser you use, delete cookies and all personal information that concerns the temporary files, cache etc. etc. every time you close your browser, this will avoid you not fall into the trap but surely less information given the better.
Do not save passwords on your computer so that browsers will be harder to fall immediately just clicked the back button, the same were avoided to maintain the account records so enduring e-mail.
The browser interested from this unsecurity are those minor, as opera, epiphany, gnome browser, etc.etc., while those of common using seems not have this kind of problem, so IE, Firefox, Iceweaseal are secure.
The browsers affected by this insecurity are the smaller, opera, epiphany, gnome browser, etc., etc., while those in common use seem to have no such problems as IE, Firefox and Iceweasel are not interested in this type of security.
