Hi, in this post I want to write about phishing.What is phishing ? The act of sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a special web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The web site however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user’s information.

Thanks for explaining this important concept which is one of the most popular internet crime. I need to know is there a way to eliminate or to reduce this activity.
