Alternative Details writes "PayPal, one of the brands most spoofed in phishing attacks, is working on a plan to block its users from making transactions from Web browsers that don't provide anti-phishing protection. From the article: "In our view, letting users view the PayPal site on one of these browsers is equal to a car manufacturer allowing drivers to buy one of their vehicles without seat-belts," says PayPal Chief Information Security Officer Michael Barrett. "At PayPal, we are in the process of re-implementing controls which will first warn our customers when logging in to PayPal from those browsers that we consider unsafe. Later, we plan on blocking customers from accessing the site from the most unsafe — usually the oldest — browsers," he declared. Apple's Safari browser falls into PayPal's "unsafe" category."
