Can anyone tell me?

What is 'Phishing' and how do you pronounce it. Ta very much.

 

Isn't it when........

you get a false email from someone pretending to be something else, like your bank.

It looks quite realistic and the aim of it is to trick you into entering your user name and password.

The way round it is to never enter your details into any emails.

 

I see. How do you say it? nt

 

Fishing i think nt

 

I think it is like wolfbagging but using a piece of halibut.

 

Thanks nt

 

Ah Right nt

 

Happy to help.

But it'll cost £60 to demonstrate.

 

You know about some nasty things

I have to use urban dictionary for most of your posts. I don't think you're a very well young man.

 

I've just asked ar gert if she'd indulge in a bit of Wolfbagging and

she said she'd rather puke.

 

phishing is an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay, PayPal and online banks are common targets. Phishing is typically carried out by email or instant messaging,[1] and often directs users to enter details at a website, although phone contact has also been used.[2] Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to fool users.[3]

 

Now that's a proper answer nt
