While fishing for Phishing…

Author: Nithya Chandar

While trying to learn to swim in the Techy waters and also fishout any new terminologies here, I did have a good catch, almost a net ful ! What I found interesting is the term "phishing", it means an identity theft via email...

What happens when you receive an email directing you to an almost "look alike" web site of a well known (finanacial or any) organisation, asking you to put in your bank A/c no, credit card details, social security etc? Althogh most of us may ignore/delete such mails, its not difficult for the "phisher" to exploit the vulnerable lot.
