You and I understand this. Most paypal users do not. That's why they keep getting phished even when their browser says they are on a "Secure" site.
Maybe it would help to have something between the green "Secure" and the red "Danger! Stop!", e.g. an amber "warning" symbol implying that "You're connected to the site your browser is showing, but be sure it's the site you think it is." Sadly in reality I don't think that would go very far to solving the problem.
- Ajedi32 9y agoThe problem with showing a warning like that on every site you visit is that users will quickly become used to it and start ignoring it as a result. (Alarm fatigue) Warnings are only useful if they're shown rarely enough for users to take note of them as an unusual event when they do occur.
