Don't trust a 3rd party to hold your wallet. Run the Satoshi client on your machine and learn to secure your wallet yourself.

These certifications are totally bogus and mean nothing. They do simple port scanning and that's about it.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-05-05)

There are a number of Bitcoin-related websites that offer services related to handling sensitive user information (like eWallets holding onto our private keys), but not many of them are certified by a reliable third party to be secure.

For example, MtGox is [certified by Norton](https://trustsealinfo.verisign.com/splash?form_file=fdf/splash.fdf&dn=mtgox.com&lang=en) to be free of malware and analysed for security flaws on regular basis.
