Come from the term Fishing.



phishing means, making a fake webpage or fake program to capture log in ids and password. it is not posible to know if your password ahs been phished. the reason?



example



you enter your data on a myspace look-alike site, you don't look at the address bar and says www.myspacce.com, you log in then info is sent to the owner, this is not hacking so there is no way to see if you were caught, it like giving you a a piece of paper to write tour user id or password
