Phishing is the attempt to obtain confidential information such as user names, passwords and credit card details (and money), often for malicious reasons, disguising itself as a reliable entity in an electronic communication. The word is a neologism created as a fishing homophone due to the similarity of using a bait in an attempt to catch a victim. According to the 2013 Microsoft Computing Security Index, published in February 2014, the annual global impact of phishing could reach US $ 5 billion.
Phishing is usually carried out by email spoofing or instant messaging, and often directs users to enter personal information on a fake website, whose appearance is identical to the legitimate one and the only difference is the site's URL web in question. Communications that claim to be from social websites, auction sites, banks, online payment processors or IT managers are often used to attract victims. Phishing emails may contain links to websites infected with malware.
Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to deceive users and exploits the weaknesses of current web security. Attempts to deal with the increasing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness and technical security measures.
