Commodo & Hacker safe

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum - please move to a better location if required

I have noticed a number of websites sporting a "Hacker safe" logo / checked daily and followed the link to Commodo. I am wondering if anyone has any opinion on this service from the point of the consumer (are these sites really safer?) and the merchant ( apart from the impression on the consumer, might this not also considered a challege to hackers?)

I understand your concerns. I recently came upon a really good thread that discusses the use of the HACKER SAFE Certification which is much different the the Hacker Guardian mark. Please feel free to review.

Thanks for that link - very interesting.

I guess one addiitonal point to consider also mentioned in this link is that it depends what the "guardian" is actually testing. Is it the security on the server (and this might be a shared hosted server) or the scripting of the site that you control.
