Arghh. Security, protection, IP hiding, port closing, I am so sick and tired about all this. And when you done all that, something new starts to disturb. It is not spyware. No it is not malware as it isnt ad-aware. It is not a virus or a worm or a dialer. It is Phishing. What the hell is phishing? I would just like to know something little more about phishing and thats it. Thanks in advance.

Phishing. You can name a hacker as a phisher. The word is actually Fishing. Very similar term. But there are no bates, river or water. There is a network or internet so, there is Phishing. Phishing is actually phrase for stealing information. It arrives with the e-mail and these e-mails are there to direct you to the sites that are interested for your bank account or credit card info. You can leave your numbers on-line because of totally different reason, and having no idea that someone else is looking at your bank account for example. Thats really nice scam, dont you think?
