Epic post Nate the US funny numbers man.
Would just like to add here 2 tools I regularly use to check if a site's on the up and up :
* domaintools.com .. check the whois record and see who has it registered.
* Firefox's Get info window security tab.
_Any_ site that asks me for my Blizzard user name and password I check throughly to make sure (a) It's run by Blizzard (b) It has a security certificate signed by Blizzard Enterntainment.
I find out the Blizzard uses Premium Security Licenses from Thawte Consulting CC. On investigation those things aren't cheap - they run up to $3000 for a 5 year license. Or $699 for a 1 year license. Not the type of man a hackers going to be able to afford !
