I got a call today from Hacker Safe. The service they offer is pretty nice to have the scans run daily but they claim to increase your ecommerce sales 10-30%. Can anyone that uses them tell me they actually have seen a significant increase in sales because of the hacker safe logo?
I highly doubt it. I've been involved in (more then once) instances where a site that was displaying the Hacker Safe logo (and was a current subscriber to the service) was hacked and my personal data was compromised. Since then, its lost any credibility it once had to me.
I understand that some sites have been hacked even though they show this logo. What I'm interested in is if they really do increase ecommerce sales.
Well... I suppose it depends on the customers. Some might pay attention to it... I - personally - don't care or see that if would affect. I'm pretty darn convinced that it WON'T increase your sales by 10 - 30%, otherwise Apple, Microsoft & Nokia would be running to take it and start using it
