Are people that desperate to connect to any "stranger" that approaches them and give away their identity.  This is absolutely the reason phishers continue to succeed is that end users compromise their own data, and clicking on links in emails is a common mistake. But here at VeriSign we feel that a multiple layered approach to security is best; just to give an example, phishers often embed false links via other routes as well (Twitter, etc) where following urls is not often seen as an issue. If users, however, can immediately see that a Web site is either a potential phishing site or one that has gone through extensive authentication checks (as EV SSL provides), this will no doubt benefit them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gregorycreaser]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 3rd 2009 10:22AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
