    Phishing for bank customers has boomed this year
    The UK has seen an 8,000% increase in fake internet banking scams in the past two years, the government's financial watchdog has warned.
    The Financial Services Authority (FSA) told peers it was "very concerned" about the growth in "phishing".

    The amount of cash stolen in the first half of 2006 was £23.2m, the committee was told, and was likely to be £22.5m in the second half of the year.

    Come up with a way to stop idiots entering their security details into phishing sites and I'm sure the banks would bite your hand off.

    Give me 5 minutes and a bit of 2 by 4 and i can guarantee that they won't be entering their details into phishing sites again!!

    Think the banks will pay me for this???

      If people still enter their details after they have been told the URL is dodgy then feck em - send Ardesco round...

              Easy. Get rid of internet banking, and instead have the branches open for longer than 10:30 - 15:30 or whatever limp-wristed hours they do.

              Is the cheque in the post?

                  IE7 has a phishing filter built in. So there you go, use a proper browser and you'll be fine.
