GONE PHISHING

Unless you’ve been living a cave you have received notices urging you to update your account information — even if you don’t have an account with the senders — most of whom are well know companies like Wells Fargo, AOL or eBay. This important place is an authoritative resource containing a depth of information on these dangerous ruses known as “Phishing”.

The Department of Justice defines “Phishing” as “a general term for criminals’ creation and use of e-mails and websites – designed to look like e-mails and websites of well known legitimate businesses, financial institutions, and government agencies – in order to deceive Internet users into disclosing their bank and financial account information or other personal data such as user names and passwords. The “Phishers” then take that information and use it for criminal purposes, such as identity theft and fraud.”

Here you can see alerts regarding new Phishing attacks detected plus a ton of additional information regarding the nefarious activities of the Phishers.
