Though the number of phishing sites has hit a new high, swift action is making it tougher to launch attacks.

This problem will dissapear overnight if financial institutions were made 100% responsible for this loss and the identity theft cleanup cost.

Yes, that is true. What is also true, if people get Mozilla Firefox, the problem would disappear also. Mozilla has atleast a couple extentions that detect phishing sites.

Identity Cues offers major advantages over earlier anti-phishing offerings from usability, security, implementation, and maintenance standpoints. For example, there are no extra steps during the login process, and, even if people do not make a conscious effort to use the anti-phishing/anti-pharming system, the system can still be effective at protecting them. Users don't have to download/install any software, carry any security devices, register for any services, or memorize any extra secrets.
