Signed by "Mobile Transportation Services inc."

Having just navigated through a bunch of forms on my councils website I can verify that the following people are all on certificates at different points:

* a freelance web dev * two design agencies * nobody (plain lets encryot) * a payments middle man company (stylised like "EZ pay") * the council themselves (on the confirmation pages...)

So I would hazard a guess that "Mobile Transportation Services inc." ie a little too sensible to be trustworthy...

This sounds just like EV certificates, and they have not been shown to work very well.

(There have been many articles explaining why, here is one: https://www.troyhunt.com/extended-validation-certificates-ar... )

"Vеrifiеd Signеd Ву Citу, сountу Вus sеrviсе"

Paste that string into google, and tell me if you get the results you expect. You'll get a lot of Russian. Think people might go for that? There was an attack a while back where bad guys registered "adoḅe.com" and distributed malware. EV doesn't work.

Then you'll get "Verified Signed by Citÿ, County Bus service"
