A lot of scummy sites use static "secure site" logos which have no backing in order to deceive the user into believing the site has some sort of security in place. These mimic the geotrust and hacker safe logos typically but I've seen all kinds. Bad actors have no problem misleading consumers by duplicating common "indicators" of positive reputation and are already actively doing so. A new set of privacy icons would just as easily and quickly be deployed to deceive consumers further.
