Realistically, if the folks from Anonymous wanted to really cause
trouble, they'd be doing (legitimate looking) SSL requests against the
actual payment gateways. The force-multiplier there is the computational
effort it takes to negotiate a DH key exchange.

For bonus points, call the voice auth service simultaneously and just
sit on hold.
