WHAT IS PHISHING (fish´ing) (n.) The act of sending an e-mail 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 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. (source:http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/p/phishing.html) 9/19/2018 (c) 2005 - Piyush Harsh

How Identity Thieves Operate? They use bulk spamming – i.e. they send millions of emails to email accounts at random. Even if 0.1% unsuspecting user falls prey, an identity thieve has 1000 valid identities using which he can commit crimes. General Mode of Operation – emails asking for account verification of a very popular banking establishment e.g. Citicorp or Bank One. Social Engineering Spy ware and Ad ware running on an unsuspecting user’s terminal – these pests act as ‘key-logger’ that keeps track of what key-strokes you make and send the information to the bad guy. 1000 of other ways… fastest catching mode of operation is videotaping the key sequences that you punch at the public ATM To learn about other modes of operation get in touch with me some other time 9/19/2018 (c) 2005 - Piyush Harsh
