Watch NBC's Dateline Tuesday for the second part of their credit card fraud / online theft report. Look at all the backwater hicks who are falling victim to phishing schemes. They don't even know to look for httpS. Lt alone the difference in a TLD. "It had all the colors and pictures of Bank of America in it". Dot bank is going to make any difference plus they are easy enough to spoof. Look at all the dot gov and dot edu spoofs in google SEPRings and emails.
But whatever helps people sleep better at night lol. Identity fraud (which covers a lot of areas now) is a 1.5 billion dollar a year industry. Going to take a lot to stop that and phishing is pretty high on the methods list.
