Phishing
What is Phishing?
Phishing attacks use 'spoofed' e-mails and fraudulent websites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial
data such as credit card numbers, account usernames and passwords, social security numbers, etc. By hijacking the trusted brands
of well-known banks, online retailers and credit card companies, phishers are able to convince up to 5% of recipients to respond
to them. (from
