Comments on: Microsoft on ID theft watch

Authentication is a key part in the fight against ID theft and phishing, says Microsoft's chief privacy strategist, Peter Cullen.

Making email proprietary ? NO

Solving (a part of) the spam problem in exchange of having Microsoft in control of Email now, then give them a patented extension to HTML to prevent phishing ...

Security is a real concern, but it should not make all of us blind !

Is he SERIOUS?!

Cullen: It is really tough to identify one big issue...A year ago, the term "phishing" didn't exist. Spyware, a year ago, was about tracking where users went for the purpose of feeding them ads. Now it is about keystroke-loggers being put on people's PCs.


Uhm, I really don't have to say much, his statement stands on its own.

Well OK maybe just a thing or two:

A year ago phising didn't EXIST?!

Pfffffffffffffewwwwwwwww.
And Cullen is the "Chief Privacy Strategist" for Microsoft.

HOLY CROW BAT MAN!

I thought I could say more on the subject, but frankly I'm to friggin stunned, my brain actually hurts from reading this mans naive, uninformed, ignorant assertions and opinions which as far as I can tell aren't based in any reality along the Space-Time Continuum that everyone else is living in.

Yikes!

Rev.

It is scary.

To make such errors on simple topics, and yet be in an apparently lofty position at MS... We can only hope he had stage fright.

No chance

It'll never fly beyond a passport-doomed experiment until it's open and patent free. What is so difficult to understand about this?
