[QUOTE="qua3k, post: 953790, member: 92539"] They are actively worse than nothing. It’s trivial to register a business and an EV cert and relying on “the green indicator with the name of my bank” is harmful. “Banks use them therefore they still have value” does not justify harmful UI design. Browser vendors didn’t only do this because nobody changed their behaviors based on whether they saw the green padlock. I know you don’t like it but it’s the reality of it. WPA should not be used as a security boundary; use strong authenticated encryption and avoid putting unnecessary trust in local networks. [/QUOTE]
