Phishing

"Phishing is just spam being used to trick people into revealing some information to the phisher, and relies very heavily on social engineering to succeed. By blocking spam effectively, the bait never reaches its target, and the opportunity for deception is crushed.
Phishers are now sending more targeted emails to businesses and these e-mails are designed to appear as though they were sent by another member of staff at the same organization, typically from the IT or HR departments. It seems that people will share their passwords fairly willingly via e-mail if the trust the source. It doesn’t hurt that this new breed of phisher promises treats to those who cooperate or threatens the employment of those who don’t."

Phishing is not just Spam, it is a try to cheat to get informations in order to get money.

They wanted to give it a "halo" of sophistication using PH Latin style.
In reality I would call it simply "Fishing" which is nothing else then trying to find a "fish" to hook and that willingly will give his informations.

I must admit that fishers have gone better and better and one day they will be succesful, unless somebody can do something which doesn't look.

I wrote a million times to eBay and PayPal, but I was not honoured an answer.
Which I think it is outrageous.

Welcome the followers of eBay and PayPal, if they are a little bit more serious and more concerned with the security of their customers.

I guess those big corporations, Banks included, underevaluate the power of competition.
One day(and that will be a nice day) they will wake up to find they have lost ALL their customers...
