Description:
Phishing is the process of enticing people into visiting fraudulent websites and persuading them to enter identity information such as usernames, passwords, addresses, social security numbers, personal identication numbers (PINs) and any further information that can be made to seem plausible. This information is then used to impersonate the victim so as to empty their bank account, run fraudulent auctions, launder money, apply for credit cards, take out loans in their name, and so on.
