Don’t disclose your credentials to anyone-in the field of computer security, phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or it administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public. phishing is typically carried out by e-mail or instant messaging,[1] and it often directs users to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one.
