PHISHING

• The act of sending an Email to a user falsely claiming to be an
  established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user
  into surrendering private information that will be used for
  identity theft.


• The Email directs the user to visit a Web site where they are
  asked to update personal information, such as passwords and
  credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the
  legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is
  Bogus and set up only to steal the User’s information.
