dhs-predicts-more-brokerage-attacks

The DHS is joining in on one of my earlier predictions: Brokerage accounts will be increasing targeted in the coming year. According to their post they are tempting accounts because they typically have more money in them. Further, typical anti-fraud transaction analysis doesn't really work because of the infrequency of transfers.

I'm convinced that brokerage accounts and other heavy transactions accounts will need cryptographically secure transaction authentication in addition to session and host/mutual authentication.
