sbiddle: But that's still not likely to cause any significant fraud.Not really - remember the keylogger collects one number for the second authentication, but when the bad person tries to login s/he will be asked for the number again - which by that time is invalid for a second login.
The big problem with two factor authentication is that with a keylogger trojan running you can capture a login, password and two factor code in realtime, redirect the user to a site that says the login has failed and then somebody somewhere in the world in realtime can have immediate access to your system.
