The Hacker-Safe graphic is on many websites. It's part of the McAfee Hack-Safe program. McAfee is a well known brand of internet security software - although this Hacker Safe program has been called into question on many occasions. In order to have your domain put under this program, I believe you are subject to the same identity verification process as you would be for a verisign SSL certificate - you'd have to prove that your business is real, and if they received a bunch of fraud complaints then the cert would be pulled. Also, the domain has been registered since 2004 by these guys, so I don't think it's that much to be worried about. Either way, if you end up getting screwed like I did at vikingbags.com, just phone Visa and they'll take care of it.
