Is Gemalto Web Signer for Lloyds Banking Group safe?
Gemalto Web Signer for Lloyds Banking Group passes signing data and PIN values from bank pages to the local Gemalto signer.
On configured Lloyds, Bank of Scotland, BACS, Vocalink, AccessPay, and related payment-service pages, the extension reads signing data from the page and asks the user to select a certificate and enter a PIN. When the user signs, it sends the signing data, selected certificate identifiers, and PIN to the local native host com.gemalto.esignerwe.

3 other listings published from this account, 11k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 12 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
