VeriSign had to start somewhere. What you see on our website is just the start. We’re the bet in the world at one thing — URL Classification — by a lot. So building products around that. Pretty much every hack or theft of credentials starts with a link of some kind.

But you are right. That’s why we are looking at Cyber Insurance — so if a Token launch or ICO is hacked for example, then refunds can be provided — but only after following x, y, z best practices to help reduce the risk in the first place.

No security product will be perfect. And hacks will always happen to someone somewhere — our job is to make sure our customers are less likely to become a target or victim as a result of installing our software and later when we launch it, display our Trustmark to show people that it’s less likely to be a target.
