Discussion About COMODO (Started by MVPS' Mike Burgess)

• This is a very lengthy thread at Comodo's forums. The link to the thread provided in Mike Burgess' blog is broken so I dug up the thread and posted the (currently) correct link here.

Those who read this General Security forum at Windows BBS may have been around long enough to know one should not trust a website simply because the URL begins with "https ". However, I suppose some (many?) people who trust Comodo might be duped into trusting a website simply because it has a SSL certificate issued by Comodo.

Anyway, it appears to me Comodo has tarnished their shiny reputation a bit.
