Keyword: "allegedly".  Increasing feeling of security without
neccessarily improving understanding of the threat is usually
a regression.

Attacker can run the fake login screen with subtle modification
in place of "Ctrl-Alt-Del" or a rephrase; I guess the better half
of the potential victims will fall for it, maybe after some
hesitation.

Compare to any other successful phishing techniques out there...
