PayPal to Ban "Unsafe" Browsers

Gadgets & Tech – I assume you know what phishing is, but if you don't, it's basically trying to get sensitive - and particularly financial - information from people by impersonating a trusted entity in an electronic communication, typically an email.

i have to disagree acer..i've used paypal for 8 years for thousands of transactions and have found them to be VERY responsive to this sort of problem..they vigorously go after phishing e-mail and the few times i did have problems with phony vendors or whatever they froze money and accounts retroactively and quickly..i've never lost a dime with them..this ban on outdated browsers is long overdue and its taken this long because they were trying to please as many on-line consumers as possible..even those that dont keep up with technology..but they're just another target for the anti-corporate socialist cranks that populate so much of propeller
