phishing is where you got to a site like Google or yahoo for example and in the web browser it say Google and the site look like Google. but there might be a slight off in the in the address bar or it appearance. meaning you at a fake site. use the purpose of such attack. is to obtain your personal info. it a problem because of it current easy and popular to do. expectantly has the economy get worse and worse.
the other problem with phishing attacks is there almost impossible to detected. which why in recent time use security admin had to come up with a very complex way of fixing the problem. which is why you see a color code bar in your address bar now every time you put info in but beyond the color code system which is a stander part of all current browser there is no other defense currently for the average user.
hope this helps
