Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
I feel that this is a security concern.
When purchasing software a separate window pops up requesting the user's
credit card info and so forth.
This window looks nothing more than just another webpage. I would not
feel entirely safe if I were to be asked by a pop-up to enter my credit
card information.
My proposal is to integrate the payment service into the Software Center
so that there is no confusion and possibility of giving villains the
opportunity to make a simple webpage design to mimick the payment
service.
