You can still make your money coz’ Pay pal won’t Block Safari
Imagine what would have happened if pay pal suddenly decided not allow users to log-in to their pay pal accounts if they happened to use Apple’s Safari Browser (inlcuding the one on the Pink iPhone) – absolute mayhem. Thankfully, Pay pal has issued an official release stating that it has no intention to block any users of any browser whatsoever and the unrest was unwarranted.
Pay Pal does have a policy (for enhanced security) not to allow users logging into their systems through out-dated or unsafe browsers.
According to computerworld.com, “PayPal was reacting to reports of a research paper released the week before by Michael Barrett, the firm’s chief information security officer, said that the payment service would ban browsers that lacked a way to block known or suspected phishing sites, and didn’t support Extended Validation (EV) certificates”
Further more “Safari does not have an anti-fraud blocker and does not support EVs, the relatively new digital certificates meant to reassure consumers that the site has been vetted and is legitimate”
Since no one was available to comment about who is going to do what, the show must go on.
