I'll start here: ever used phone banking? YOU HAVE?!? But don't you realise
how easy it is for someone to hook up a DTMF decoder to your phone line?

So why do millions of people use phone banking if it's so vulnerable?
Because it isn't. The chances of someone getting privileged information this
way, and then actually ripping you off with it, are about a million to one.
Similar to the chances of someone intercepting your web generated wep key,
finding where you live, and leeching your entire pr0n collection, actually.
