A lack of EV certificate is not a decent proxy for legitimacy, because most of legitimate important sites don't have an EV certificate - so people can't be trained to think that they should think twice if an EV certificate is absent.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoEV certificates are a scam anyway.
- wongarsu 7y agoI sure would do a double take if I noticed a bank website using a non-EV cert or an EV cert issued to somebody other than the bank. But that's probably one of the few industries where you can expect it.
