I've told some colleagues who work on e-commerce sites about this and they're taking action. <br /> <br /> I checked out their HackerSafe page and it doesn't say "Attention Shoppers", it says "Attention Merchants" instead, and leads to an ad for HackerSafe products. BUT... there is a text link to the page you describe, hidden in the "About [company name]" heading at the bottom of the page. You don't see it unless you mouse over the heading, which doesn't look clickable, or you view the source, of course. <br /> <br /> Sneaky way to build thousands of links! I doubt their merchant partners would appreciate this if they knew! Thanks for the heads up on this. I’ve told some colleagues who work on e-commerce sites about this and they’re taking action.
