The certificate lists the registered organization as "GeoTrust Inc." Shouldn't it be registered to "Equifax Inc?" I'm not sure what other services (such as web hosting) GeoTrust might also offer, but I wouldn't trust this website actually belongs to Equifax.
- ceejayoz 9y agoThat's the SSL vendor (and a prominent one). You'll find Amazon's cert comes from Symantec, for example.
- jdavis703 9y agoYes, but my understanding is the organization name is supposed to be the entity you're doing business with. How else do you know that the owner of that domain is who the webpage claims they are if the organization and SSL vendor are the same? I'm not doing business with GeoTrust, it's with Equifax.
