Phishing stop my eyes.

Today, when surfing, a words stop me --- phishing.
 
Look it up in ditionary, no item.
 
Google search, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing gives us a good and detail explaination. Thanks, if I cannot find a new words, the wikipeia will be a very good place to loate.
 
In computing(Here computing is a more general word to describe information technology, computer concerned area), phishing is a form of social engineering.
The attackers attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive individual information, such as password or credit card details, they masquerade as a trustworthy person or business by means of different ways, such as email, telephone, instant message. This phenomenon origins from the use of increasing sophisticated lure of "fishing" for user's financial information and password.
 
So, for us, we should pay much attention to our own individual information such as Idendification Card, Credit Card, Birthday, Your direct relations, Your address, etc. All information brand you should be take care of seriously. We should give "trust" a new glance. The business with good reputation is not always be trusted, cause of they are often abused by hostile person. The simple way to overcome this is two-direction authentication, when some one contact you, first thing you should do is to comfirm whether the person or business is what he or she claimed.Except for the object, you also should pay attention to the road which the object contact to you. We are living in a disguised era.
