I just had an idea. It would be nice if moneybookers, paypal, banks and similar sites would allow you to define a 'fake password'. and if anyone tries to login with it, you get a notification by SMS.
you keep that fake pass saved in browser. so if you get the notification, you know the computer has been 'pwned'.
what do you think?
