What is Phishing and Pharming?
Phishing attacks use both social engineering and technical subterfuge
to steal consumers' personal identity data and financial account
credentials. Social-engineering schemes use 'spoofed' e-mails to lead
consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into
divulging financial data such as credit card numbers, account
usernames, passwords and social security numbers. Hijacking brand
names of banks, e-retailers and credit card companies, phishers often
convince recipients to respond. Technical subterfuge schemes plant
crimeware onto PCs to steal credentials directly, often using Trojan
keylogger spyware. Pharming crimeware misdirects users to fraudulent
sites or proxy servers, typically through DNS hijacking or poisoning.
