What benefit would a phishing site have with https that they didn't have without it?
- GavinMcG 11y agoThe green padlock that casual users might misinterpret as meaning "to be trusted".
- flavmartins 11y agoIf you look at Chrome's change to https indicators, they give these sites with auto issued certs the lock so users will interpret it as "secure". Seems easy to create fraud sites and give them a legitimate site look.
