Remember Phorm are a sponsoring member of the AWG http://www.antiphishing.org/sponsors.html and would not be daft enough to offer something that did not cope with a large proportion of phishing attacks.
So you're saying HTTPS traffic is intercepted by Phorm?

That's interesting.

It would be, your own words daft, to ignore HTTPS requests which might lead to phishing sites.

But in terms of privacy, it would be even more outrageous than the already outrageous intrusion that is Phorm.

Particularly if both ends to the communication do not have a serviceable OPT IN mechanism.

Pow!, pow! Both barrels unloaded. Hey look, no feet left.
