SiteKey to Prevent Phishing

Posted by timothy on from the yeah-right dept.

Perekrestok writes "An article at CNN talks about a new system called SiteKey which will be rolled out at Bank of America across the U.S. by this fall. The system would require an online user to not only enter a password but also answer three personal questions. More interestingly, the system will have a button which will allow the user to verify that they are indeed at the bank's website and not at some scammer's fake site."
