It was said that Webwise will warn of both http and https phishing sites and there seems to be some debate.

I am totally against the main purpose of Webwise (to spy/categorise usage of the internet for profit) and I agree that anti-phishing is already readily available and so there is no need to have Phorm or Webwise at all.

But, I can't see why we're challenging that the Webwise system won't be able to detect calls between my PC and the web to start a session with a secure site. AFAIK the set up of the secure connection cannot OC begin until a connection has been at least made with the site to set it up because the site server and my PC have to exchange some data to set it up and that cannot be done in any "scambled" method which means it is all visible to the phorming system. So I don't see why a Webwise system could not warn about the connection to a suspected phishing site then ignore your data stream from then on, if you continue to browse the site. Of course whether it ignores your data from then on really is the question...

But it makes no odds to me and OC it should make no odds to anyone else because Webwise gives NOTHING AT ALL to the customer which they cannot get for free elsewhere without having someone spying on their every action.
