Re:I'm in the bank business (Score 1)

Hey JustAnotherReader, I wonder if your major bank is one of the ones that uses Extended Validation SSL - or is considering that option. If a site visitor has an EV compatible browser like IE7, it shows the name of the bank you're connecting with in the interface, along with the green address bar that lots of people are talking about. That means I can definitively identify that I'm connected to the real deal before I put in any information I don't want to share with the entire world. My own bank, ING, has these green bars now, and I've seen it on other sites including banks and major e-commerce sites like eBay and PayPal. I'm pretty happy to see it when I log in. I feel like the bank has given me another tool to make sure I don't get fooled by a clever phisher. -Marwaan
