Hello. I have heard about everything malicious over the internet, so I have also heard about phishing, too. Now, I am wondering what is phishing actually? It sounds like fishing but, I really have doubts thats something even similar to a fishing. How to detect a phishing email? What do phishing email messages usually contains? Thanks in advance.

If you are using some online bank account, than you should be more careful, with the email messages you are receiving from your bank. There is no performance risk when the word is about phishing. Just nice and neat money stealing. Nothing else. Funny, isnt it? .... I think not. Follow two simple rules. Your account number, nobody knows except you. And never, I mean never, do not read any of your bank promotions or whatever, from your email. Do not follow the links provided inside your emails from your bank. It is always smarter to check new info stuff on your banks home page.
