I had a similar question the last time I got a Verified By Visa redirect, actually, because it popped up in a frame in the middle of the vendor's web site, making me wonder how the heck I was supposed to know that it was legit, and and not the vendor phishing for information that they shouldn't have. Maybe there was something obvious there, but at the time I didn't see it... So how *are* you supposed to know that a Verified By Visa thing is legit? (Thirty seconds of research turns up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verified_by_visa#Verifiability_of_site_identity, suggesting that it's not just me. Which bleah, because it's sort of a good idea, but the current implementation is really terrible from a phishing point of view.) -Josh (iril...@infersys.com) _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
