Phish, or Phishing, is a rapidly growing form of fraud that seeks to fool Web users into divulging private information by mimicking a legitimate Web site.
In a typical scenario, an unsuspecting user gets an urgent sounding (and authentic looking) email telling him or her there is a problem with their account that they must immediately fix, or the account will be closed. The email will include a URL to a Web site that looks exactly like the real thing (it is simple to copy a legitimate email and a legitimate Web site but then change the so-called back-end—where the collected data is actually sent.
The email tells the user to log on to the site and confirm some account information. Any data entered at the site is directed to a malicious hacker who steals the logon name, password, credit card number, social security number, or whatever data the user requests.
Phish fraud is fast, cheap, and easy to perpetuate. It is also potentially quite lucrative for those criminals who practice it. Phishing is difficult for even computer-savvy users to detect, and it is difficult for law enforcement to track down. Worse, it is almost impossible to prosecute.
