This has been discussed. In order to see the rejection, I browse to https://gmail.com and login. I use google public dns, so there's no chance of a dns poisoning. The SSL cert is signed by Thawte. Furthermore, when you try to buy someting in android, the transaction doesn't take place at your device. The transaction takes place between the Google Play servers and the credit card company. So it couldn't possibly be a phishing attack. It is legitimately google requesting this. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
