mBank and Referer header

Polish online bank mBank changed the way its' online login system works. Now it doesn't accept browsers that don't sent Referer header (it can be turned off in Firefox and Opera). The error message the user gets looks like a notification about system compromise.

When Referer is sent, login goes smoothly. The problem is that you need to know the case of the problem. Support line doesn't help at this point.

What if

Imagine that WWW was not invented 15 years ago, but yesterday. What would be different? James Boyle tries to answer this question in Financial Times. Refreshing, even if you don't agree with him.
