An avid fisherman will spend all day sitting in a boat waiting to catch the “big” one. Some will even peer through a hole in the ice for hours in freezing temperatures patiently waiting. Fishing is a very popular sport where bait, time and patience are the keys to success.
In the internet world, the new sport of "phishing" has become a favorite pastime of hackers and online thieves. It also involves bait which lures people through an email linking to a special offer or website that looks very legitimate and real. These “phishermen” are able to create fake websites that look strikingly similar to the real ones. Once you have clicked through to these sites, your personal information becomes available to whoever is on the other end. Falling for these types of scams can lead to identity theft, computer viruses, and other headaches. So how can you know if it is a legitimate email or not? Use your gut and remember, “If it feels wrong, it probably is.” Look for misspellings or a suspicious looking web address and do not click on any links. Never respond to these types of emails and certainly don’t enter any personal information
In 2009, 13,000 twitter accounts were hacked into through phishing. Just last week, the marketing company Epsilon discovered a breach of the email addresses of 15 of its clients companies which could affect thousands of customers. Identity theft protection is a “must have” in today’s online environment. If your identity is stolen, you may spend thousands of hours and dollars trying to get it restored.
