Phishing

Phishing is when someone manages to get hold of sensitive information such as user names, passwords and credit card details. This is in no way good for the society especially as it is on the increase according to reports from the Apacs, a banking body. When private information is obtained by hackers streams if money can be withdrawn from your account. In the worst case scenario the hacker could actually set up another account, or overdraft. This does not reflect good on the victim and may in turn effect the bank society. Phishing is obviously a negative part to technology as it costs money to protect your computer.
