It also doesn’t help that nearly everything is now outsourced to SaaS that use ridiculously generic or often sketchy sounding domain names for secure transactions. When the government sends you to id.me, or a doctors office sends you to phreesia.com (huh?), or a business sends you to something like securepayments.com, insurance companies through fiserv.com, restaurants through all kinds of shady sounding domains.

We’ve been trained to ignore the domain name and accept putting sensitive content into random third party providers. How does a scam site look any different?
