Phishing "protection"

[kfritz]

Another site that got blocked: http://www.pathname.com

Now, for all I know, that site could have been hacked, but I've used it as a reference many times in the past, so it's probably just some sort of DOS against it.

SONIC: Can you PLEASE identify yourself on that page? Perhaps even redirect to HTTPS with your own site name? My first reaction on that page was that it was a phishing site, trying to gather my email address.

I DO NOT WANT this feature, though it's probably best for other members of the family...

Phishing protection has been useful for protecting many of our customers from identity theft and loss of banking and other credentials. It's now part of all the major browsers too.

You can of course opt out! Here's some details:

Thanks for your quick response, Dane, and many thanks for the "workaround" pointer. I appreciate the responsiveness, and try to put out the good word for Sonic when I can.
