The banks should send out bogus messages just like a real phishing attack and set up a bogus web site that looks just like their real one. If a customer logs into that site from the phishing e-mail, their internet banking privledges are revoked for 30 days. If it happens again, their internet privledges are revoked completely. Done and dusted... Kinda like darwinism with a second chance on life ;-)
How about we just ship everyone who falls for a phishing scam off to some uninhabited island somewhere.
But really, I think requiring users to use a public/private key system to secure all financial transactions would be a good step in the right direction. Though I also see users easily being fooled into screwing up even that. So who knows.
