What is phishing?
Phishing attacks are usually fraudulent e-mails aimed at stealing consumers' personal identity data and financial account credentials. "Spoofed" e-mails often lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into giving away their important financial data such as credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords and Social Security numbers. By hijacking brand names of banks, retailers and credit card companies, phishers can trick consumers to respond to the email.
