Bit like those 'This site is insecure' type messages browsers give out.

Not for the protection of consumers but to drive sales of commerce

servers. 'Let's scare the pants off the customers of our customers so

that we can sell more security solutions'. Some people perpetuate this

problem unwittingly - assuming by telling people they are safe, that it

does not then occur to them that they are keeping the 'unsafe' flame

alive.
