- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> That's the distinction that Cloudflare draws And we free persons are at liberty to disagree with their lime. Personally, their delineation seems self-serving and marginally scummy. (The service and this app are appreciated and used.)
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoHow about torrent sites? Where would you personally draw the line? It has to be drawn somewhere.
- johnklos 8y agoActually, sites which claim they are one thing (Adobe, a bank's web site) when they obviously aren't are, in fact, illegal. But hey - if you want to pretend that a site which pretends to be Bank of America is somehow in some grey area, then by all means be a phishing apologist.
- eridius 8y agoSites that sell malware aren’t pretending to be Bank of America. Also, while I certainly believe that some phishing site pretending to be Bank of America should be illegal, I’m not actually sure what law that would violate. Is it actually illegal or do you just believe that it it should be? And I’m not looking for “it violates copyright/trademark” as an answer, that’s a civil issue.
