RSA's Cyota division is helping fight phishing attacks by giving the online fraudsters what they want -- lots of user names, passwords, online banking credentials and credit card numbers.

This is actually a nice gesture from RSA, but it shouldn't be necessary. That they have to feed fraudsters with fake information is only a result of that others are providing real information.

Although RSA makes it incumbert for fraudsters the underlying problem in the first place is users, and the solution is education. No technical solution can be imposed that will solve this problem, and the users without knowledge only increase the price other users have to pay for the prevention.

This kind of pulverisation of the cost does not only reduce the amount of responsibility the single user face but in doing so increase the chances of it happening again to the same user and others.

Stupid users should pay for it themselves.
