topic) I'm not sure there is really much that can be done.

Don't forget the desperate need for user *and* staff education. I have now
multiple time got calls from my bank asking to discuss my account. Could I
just verify my details ? they asked. Er, you first, I said. They didn't get
it. They didn't understand why, as someone who is lightly paranoid and
understand more about security than they do, I was concerned that they
couldn't prove they were from the bank...
