Comodo Selected to Secure the Official Site for the Obama'08 Campaign - The Obama'08 campaign has selected Comodo, the world's second largest Certification Authority, to secure the Obama'08 website with Comodo SSL certificates. The Obama'08 site has deployed Comodo InstantSSL certificates to provide online contributors reassurance that their information is encrypted and secure. The Comodo seal on the site provides additional visual confirmation to online visitors that the site can be trusted. The need for increased vigilance in site security for government agencies, not for profit organizations and political campaigns is acute because fraudsters pretending to be these types of organizations have been steadily and alarmingly increasing since 2006. A new report entitled, "Online Financial Fraud and Identity Theft Report," discloses that in 2007, over 900 new brands were first time targets of phishing attacks.
