Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are 
starting to circulate online, say security experts.

The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to 
fake bank sites and steal login details.

In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the 
loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.

Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale 
attacks are already happening.
