In this instance, a 'sample size' of *ONE*. Fact: there was _never_ any 'phishing' page on my server, as the user report claims. What there -was-, was a copy of an eBay/Paypal ERROR PAGE, with the *only* distribution of that URL to eBay/Paypal customer support (by telephone) for purposes of resolving the problem that error page demonstrated. The 'vendor reliability' rating is meaningless, Assuming that that WOT user making the rtingknew anyting about the vendor, which is unlikely :). The machine intentinally mis-reports its vendor identity as a company that went out of existance more than a decade ago. Reported application versions are similar mis-directon. The machine, itself, armor-plated and diamond-coated. It is proof against _any_ attack other than 'denial of service' -- regardless of any software vulnerabilites, *undiscovered* or otherwise. All media with executables, or non-volatile data (like web pages), are (hardware enforced) read-only, and all writable media are flagged by the kernel such that any attempt to 'execute' any content from that media is disallowed. Even _I_ can't change anything without taking the machine off-line and into single- user mode. I can give _you_ console access *and* the super-user password, the _worst_ you can do is denial of service. The other 'ratings' by that single user are similarly laughable. He has no way of knowing anything about any of them. All that said, thanks for the heads-up about mywot.com. I've never heard of them before this.
