Banks could fix the phishing problem if they had the incentive. It isn't bad enough yet to make them want to fix it.

I wonder whether it can be solved. The fundamental problem is that people can be tricked into going to a web site that looks like something they use, and putting in their creds. That's set of people A. You can change the legitimate site such that there is something noticably different about the legitimate site that some people can notice and pay attention to. Call this set of people B. How much intersection is there between sets A and B?
