Phishing - Example of a Phishing Attack from EDT Hosting.com
What is Phishing?
Phishing is a method thieves and con men used to get personal information
from you in order to steal your identity and then your money or benefits.
Pretending to be from a legitimate retailer, bank, or government agency, the
sender asks to “confirm” your personal information for some made-up reason: your
account is about to be closed, an order for something has been placed in your
name, or your information has been lost because of a computer problem.
Typically, you receive an email from a bank asking you to go to its site (with
the link provided) to reenter your most personal information. The link takes you
to a bogus website! Another
tactic phishers use is to say they’re from the fraud departments of well-known
companies and ask to verify your information because they suspect you may be a
victim of identity theft! In one case, a phisher claimed to be from a state
lottery commission and requested people’s banking information to deposit their
“winnings” in their accounts.

numbers, etc. into forms on Web sites that are designed to resemble the bank,
credit card, or other company who they are claiming to be.
- Phishing can also happen by phone. You may get a
call from someone pretending to be from a company or govern
