What is phishing website?
Phishing is when someone attempts to get your secret information, like passwords or social security number, etc., by pretending to be a website that you go to frequently, like your bank, but it's really a fake bank website, and when you enter in your password, it doesn't go to the bank, it goes to the criminal instead, and then they use it to empty out your account at the REAL bank website.



That's why you should never, EVER, enter your password into a website unless you see that the address of that website, up at the top of your browser window, begins with https... All websites start with http, but only SECURE websites have the "s" at the end: https, so be sure to look for it, EVERY TIME!!!
