You are asserting that this is so, but without engaging with the actual
steps laid out in the draft. How can a scammer get around what we have
suggested, for a cost commensurate with the return from a single
phishing expedition?
Don't "pet name tool bars etc" require education to use also?
The level of education is minimal
So is "look for the green bar".
Ian and others were pushing for UI changes for years to add CA branding,
but of course he wasn't taken seriously... After all how do you really
punish a CA if the end users don't know who or what you are doing...
I've refuted the arguments for CA branding at length in various forums;
it wouldn't be useful for me to repeat myself here.
While you are pushing this particular variation of snake oil, and
claiming if someone sees ebay drop from green to yellow, all panic will
occur and a break down in society,
You weaken your own argument by setting up straw men.
