Oh, so now any random person should know and use and contrast multiple search engine results for routine searches, good, good, that will definitely happen. And common people definitely do check website security certs, which are also not a thing that anybody can get for their random domain. And anybody who falls for it is a crybaby. Great insight.

I don't know where you got that worldview, but I wish you could reevaluate.

You'd be surprised to know that people exist outside the USA and Canada, and we don't really know what your phone numbers look like, so both those numbers look plausible.

As for your "Where do you go to find the URL for a site you haven't been to before for a company you know?", the whole point is that *the trusted search engine is now lying to you*. But now try https://www.royaicaribbean.com... ? Would everybody notice? You willing to bet? When the link is the first result on Google?

Not one of the people I know have a "presence online" - Google may know about them because they use Android, but they have no profiles on plus, facebook, myspace or anywhere else, they do not post updates about themselves constantly and if i google their names i get someone else with that name.
And only small fry will be held "accountable" the big ones will continue to get away, as they always have.
