Silly SSL, The padlock is for Phishers by Acidus at 5:55 pm EDT, May 14, 2007
I saw a rather interesting dirty trick today on a phishing site today. The Favicon for the site was the exact same padlock image that is normally shown for a secure website. While the site couldn't turn the address bar green, it is certainly praying on the habit people are developing with IE7 and Firefox to look for security info in the address bar.
