Of course what happened?

Mind you having it from Verisign probably makes more sense than "photon's Never-U-Steal-My-Pw-Noob Security App-of-doom", people might trust that more.

I wonder why banks don't give these out like candy, considering how bad a problem phishing can be.
Blizzard has an authenticator you can download to the iPhone.

And a buddy of mine had his account hacked a couple weeks ago. I now have an authenticator.

They hack your account, sell all the stuff you have in game for the in-game currency, then turn around and try to sell that for real life money. Every so often in game you will see players named something like "Yhjkyokl" offering "10,000 Gold for only $15.99!" and referring you to a web page.
