More Than 100 Credit Unions Turn to VeriSign to Protect Consumers … - CNNMoney.com(BuildingWebsiteNews)

Members of more than 100 credit unions throughout the United States can access online services with more confidence than ever, now that the financial institutions are protecting their Internet sites with advanced security solutions from VeriSign, Inc. Michigan State University Federal Credit Union, NIH Federal Credit Union, University of Wisconsin Credit Union and San Mateo Credit Union are leading the charge among institutions committed to foiling the efforts of e-criminals and scam artists by deploying VeriSign Extended Validation (EV) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates. By deploying VeriSign EV SSL Certificates, these financial institutions can provide consumers using high security browsers with instantly recognizable visible cues that help assure users they have reached a genuine Web page. When a financial institution or other online business uses an EV SSL Certificate to identify itself, browsers including Internet Explorer 7 and the latest beta version of Firefox 3 display easily understood visual cues to provide tangible assurance of a site's authenticity. As the most respected and trusted SSL authority on the Web, VeriSign is the EV SSL Certificate provider of choice for more than 3,000 Internet domains, representing greater than 75 percent of the entire EV SSL Certificate market worldwide. The potential risks and uncertainties include, among others, the uncertainty of future revenue and profitability and potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results due to such factors as the inability of VeriSign to successfully develop and market new products and services and customer acceptance of any new products or services, including VeriSign EV SSL solutions; the possibility that VeriSign's announced new services may not result in additional customers, profits or revenues; and increased competition and pricing pressures. read more
