Please kill this thread, it's gotten completely silly.

It's as silly as it always was. Same old story ... if you don't like
it, don't participate or read it ... but it seems you want to
participate. (Otherwise you'd just ignore it...)

 
If user's are willing to go to a website of unknown 
providence and type in their credit card # no amount of 
technology will help,

Sure it will - if the technology is implemented such that users don't
have anything to give away, then the problem is solved.


attackers will find a way to trick 
users (phone, fax, email, web, whatever, none of this is really new).

Who said it was new?
