[www.keralites.net] What Is Phishing - Be Aware Of Internet And Email Attacks

 

Once you are connected to Internet, you have to be very much cautious about your each and every move, especially when you are checking your emails. It's not always viruses who try to harm you, but there are many other things on Internet who are continuously trying to spoil your privacy, destroy your identity and steal your money in any way, and I real mean it (take it very seriously). The people behind any kind of such activities are known as Hackers.

We have already discussed that what are Internet Cookies, what information it contains and we also know how to clean such junk files from computer with the help of a software name CCleaner. But unfortunately hackers are more smarter than you. They know how to steal the information from you and from your computer. It's really important for every computer and Internet user to be aware of the things which are related to Internet attacks and make sure that he doesn't become a part of it.

One of the biggest problem on Internet are Phishing attacks, which are very common and that's how most of the time naive users often gets hacked, theft and bankrupted with a little help from the Shortened or Long URLs.

What is Phishing ?

It's not FISHING but PHISHING. The logic of both the things are the same. If you have ever done fishing before you would be knowing it that how you catches a fish. You actually fool a fish with the help of little worm and catches it. In the same way bad guys on Internet so called Phishers play a scam game with you and easily traps you in the fish net or hook. (Interesting Isn't It)
