Phishing is the process of fooling a person to give out there private information such as credit card number or passwords… For example, an e-mail 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. To prevent phishing, you must turn on phishing filter on your internet explorer but most importantly. Don’t send private information to any websites or emails that you are not sure about.
