We Heared lot many times about Banking Fraud's ,Stealing Credential's, credit card fraud's etc......

Have u People any time thinked about this ,How this Happen's ?
Let Me Explain:

In Secuirty Language We call this attack as Phishing;

Phishing It is the way of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a TrustWorthy ,Using this technique attacker's target the victim's

Here some Techniques that attacker use to fool the victim Like:

1)Attacker send's an Email Link Saying Verify your account By Visiting the given Link,
Link's appear to be legitamate but Which is not

2)I Hope Many of u experienced This Saying "You have won the lottery."
   It's a message that claims that you have won a large sum of money, or that a person will pay you a large sum of money for little or no    work on your part. The lottery scam often includes references to big companies, such as Microsoft,Cococola Company etc...
Which is not in real No Company Will send Email's Like This.

3) Some messages convey a sense of urgency saying that u r account has to modify due to some security reason so that you'll respond immediately without thinking.


Need To Remeber This:Businesses should not ask you to send passwords, logon information or user names, Social Security numbers, or other personal information through email.

How To Identify :

Attacker's use web addresses that resemble the names of well-known companies but are slightly altered by adding, omitting, or transposing letters.

For example,http://www.google.com/ this the actual site but attacker alter this as gogle.com or go0gle.com observe the name u find some difference,

similarly mail.google.com this might modify like gogle.mail.it.com

When  Your Visiting any site Beware of this untill and unless u r not sure about site name exactly
