Cool trick... But I wish it did a full text search as it appears to only search URLs and tab titles. (maybe there is a different symbol that does full text?)

I agree with the author that one of the most annoying parts of the process is that Symantec doesn't tell the legitimate owner any details to actually help them. If I got that type of error/reissue email, I would assume it was some

This is a decent article, one nit-pick is it focuses on B2C SaaS companies. Companies that are selling to B2B or other (B2G, etc) will find this only partially applicable (especially their reasons for churn and the model to measure churn).

Manual review if it is reported? Because if it was manually reviewed before first use this never would have gotten through.

You would think this, but as a counter example Xbox (back in the 360 days) had a "report gamertag as offensive" (aka offensive username). Users could pay $ to change their gamertag (~$10). It was fairly common to see people public
