You couldn't do a thing with the account information of a European
online bankin account. You need a new TAN number for every transaction
you make. Even changing personal data of the account settings requires a
TAN.

No keylogger in the world can make you use this account if you haven't
the TANs.

Delivering TANs may be a "low tech" measure but it works. There hasn't
been a single reported incident of online banking fraud I know of.

For the rest, you have read my views in most other mails,

cheers,
Tobias
