Very devious I must say. What I would watch out for is a worm that could change the HOSTS file in Windows, therefore redirecting them to an IP address of the hackers choice. The user types in the address e.g. http://www.abbey.com and it goes to the fake site, the user will never know the difference until its too late. These Anti-Virus companies and even Microsoft should have some sort of security to ensure that no third party software can change the host file.
Making this information public is a risk I know, but these risks need to be fixed
