Yet giving out your password is a good move for guild management if you trust those individuals. That is how 95% of guilds out there handled guild banks BEFORE 2.3.
Blizzard has to do what Hand mentioned in his post - fancy systems are nice, but when rules are broken they should be enforced.
I also am not sure I agree with Praetorian that even smart people get key loggers. We've had 2 keylogging experiences in the history of our guild - and both people were being stupid when it happened.
Key logging is certainly far more prevalent than a few years back - or the often overstated VIRUSES - OMG VIRUSES MUST BUY VIRUS protection!! Viruses really are overhyped.
Key logging on the other hand really is everywhere, but most of the people on this forum I'm sure have not made the mistake themselves. Its usually a friend or relative using your computer if anything (And that was both of our 2 guild cases... friends messing up).
As already stated (and amazingly without the stupid comments about it that we've had in the other 5 versions of this thread) using firefox plus noscript will protect you in most cases. Still, not clicking on questionable links is your best bet.
