    This cursed bastards had put up a similar website again at this url at http://www.archev.net/dotproject/classes/index.html

    They redesign it but they still can't cheat on the URL link.

    Go to Public Bank's website at http://www.pbebank.com/en/en_content/faq/pb_faq3.html

    Check on the steps to verify bank's digital certificate method.
