Presumably there’s some kind of legal liability benefit to it, though I imagine it benefits the card issuers rather than the consumer. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/phishing">phishing</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/security">security</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/verifiedbyvisa">verifiedbyvisa</a></p>
