That article is actually hilarious in how bad it is. Lines like this one: "The message was so convincing that the iPhone Anita was using believed it was genuine and listed it directly underneath the real message from that bank." Show a complete misunderstanding of how SMS works. SMS is like email in that who it comes from is simply a type of header, which when sending from a mobile phone isn't editable - when a message arrives your phone can't verify where it actually came from. In particular given banks don't send from an official number, they send from a text name.
