bad enough yet to make them want to fix it.
  
Once we move to phishers with rootkits, it's kind of game over.  
Majority of hosts are infected with spyware, ya know.
 
You won't be able to rootkit the credit-card sized gizmo.

You don't have to, if you can MITM the transaction.  Wait for the user to hit
the bank, read the challenge, snarf the gizmo's reply code as the user enters it.
Then submit your *own* transaction, and then submit the user's transaction. That
then complains about the code having been used already - but the damage is done.
