re: Study sites TRUSTe certified twice as likely as uncertified sites to be bad eggs.
Quote:These third party Safe Seal sites are a JOKE. HackerSafe seals and Thawte SSL's do represent actual security. Legitimate HackerSafe sites undergo rigorous daily security vulnerability scans. Thawte SSL certificates provide secure connections for the transmission of customers' personal data. HackerSafe seals retail for $1799 per website per year, and as a paying HackerSafe customer it pisses me off to see someone who isn't a HackerSafe customer illegally using the logo in order to lie to their customers. I've seen many such sites with fake seals and if a buyer gets burned by someone in Eastern Europe or Podunk who has a fake seal they lose faith in the seal which hurts all merchants |

Re: Study sites TRUSTe certified twice as likely as uncertified sites to be bad eggs
Here are my thoughts on the use of seals.
1.) I agree that seals are WAAAY overpriced, and most really don't mean anything--truly. 2.) Even though they're expensive and they have no real value, some customers do seem to feel safer with sites that have them. Whether the sites really are safer is a bigger issue. 3.) I would love to use the BBB program, but it seems so rotten of them to charge $200 for "trust." 4.) I will probably "buy" some for my site eventually, just to comfort the few people who do look for them. Whatever works to make sales, even if it's kind of crooked from the get-go. 5.) Quote:My real point was that these sites that sell YOU seals are just doing it for the money.100% agreed. They really are just doing it for the money--yet at the same time, it seems beneficial to have them. :-\ 6.) Hackersafe/Scanalert really does do active checks and scans of your site. It's one of the only seals that really do something.

Quote:Look out for the following to identify abuse Another abuse scenario: the site uses an untrusted self-signed SSL but displays the logo of a well-known trusted certifier like Thawte or GeoTrust (Equifax). Visiting a site's URL via https and clicking on your browser's lock logo will verify whether the logo you see on a site is real or not. |
