What is phishing?
Phishing is essentially an online con game, and phishers are just tech-savvy con artists and identity thieves. They use spam, fake Web sites, and other Internet technologies to trick people into divulging sensitive financial information. Unfortunately, the incidence of phishing fraud is growing exponentially.
In a typical phishing scam, phishers send out mass emails, which appear to come from a legitimate online vendor or financial institution. Emails usually contain an urgent message, baiting unsuspecting individuals into submitting sensitive data. Often the messages direct recipients to a fake Web site where the phisher attempts to collect information.
