Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
This method has been used since ages and is still filling most of our mailboxes with scam mail from banks, lottery and viagra offers. When performing a net phishing attack, the goal is to throw a bate to as many people as possible and make them arrive to an authority site (such as a bank or e.g. Facebook) which is identical or similar to the original.
The victim is then asked for credentials. This credentials can then be used to take over a account and e.g. transfer money to a foreign country.
