Last month I held a design contest for logos for Baked, World Wide Weed, and MedPot ... anyways, when it came to paying the numerous winners, a few insisted on Epass ...
So after some hessistation I go over to Epass to register and get through the whole registration process ... then Epass requires me to signup with and use Verified by Visa ... at that point, I aborted the Epass signup process... a few people thought I was being difficult by not using epass, but as I explained then, and will explain now ...
Verified by Visa shifts much of the liability from the merchant to the card holder.
After seeing how easy it is for scammers to get lists of card numbers, name, etc along with the correct CVV2 numbers ... it's not much of a stretch to believe they can likely get Verified by Visa passwords too.
