PHISHERS - WHAT IS PHISHING

Phishing is a technique to hack password and login details of a particular website using Phish pages. Now what are Phish pages? Phish Pages are simply the fake pages that looks the original webpage. The only difference between phish page and original page is the Address bar link (for normal user) and redirection post and get method( inside source for advanced users). How to identify a fake link? Just check the address bar URL for a fake page or Phish page it will be showing different URL than the original URL. Also if you want that everything is done automatically then install a Web security tool bar in your browser (AVG and Crawler web security tool bars are good choices) as it detects the phishing automatically and do not allows you to visit Phishing Pages.
