See the link in the accepted answer. If you try to paste in "javascript: blahblahblah", Chrome is smart enough to remove the "javascript: " part. What the attackers do instead is to tell the victim to type "j", then ctrl+v the rest "avascript: blahblahblah". Just tried it in Chrome, it goes through.


Clever.
