What the heck is Phishing? 

No, it has nothing to do with catching ‘Chicken of the Sea’ (couldn’t help myself with the pathetic joke). Phishing is the fraudulent attempt of someone trying to gain access to your credit cards, usernames, passwords, and other personal information by disguising themselves as a trustworthy entity. At times, they can disguise themselves as online banks or services like Paypal and EBay. They gain users trust, getting users personal information and later they perform illegal activity. I’ve had many emails requesting me to give personal information. Be afraid and aware that this activity goes on. As much as we all LOVE spending time trusting the Internet and all of its information, we must keep cognizant that this phishing exists.
