Browser Security - Need for Feed

Today's article in The Register on the phishing vulnerabilities that tabbed browsing creates is essential reading and only serves to amplify what Jonathan says. Granneman is right - even usually clueful users could be taken with the scams he describes.

Thinking about this, I started looking for a syndication feed that would give me timely information on new scams so that I'd not be deceived by them. What better place to look than CERT's channels, you might think. Except - lame beyond belief - the the advisories in those syndication feeds have just the titles of the entries, with no body text and not even a summary or abstract. You have to load each individual page.

So, does anyone know of a syndication feed that gives details of newly discovered vulnerabilities and is not totally lame? Comments, please.
