The use of SSL in phishing is on the increase.

Additionally, one reason why phishers haven't been using SSL is because browser makers and others aren't screaming "look for the lock"; and the reason they aren't doing that is because they know phishers will then start getting domain-validated certs and we'll be no further forward.

If we are going to try and educate the public to look for a trust indicator, we need a trust indicator which is worthy of the name.
