David Lawrence: You are welcome. 180039 online is our telephone number 18003966546. Coming up Geek speak we are going to take a look at phishing. We will take a tech term and turn it into plain English before you know where it is. I am David Lawrence this is Online Tonight.

Alright, the geek speak phrase is Phishing and we will get to that in just a movement. This portion of the show is brought to you by visitorville.com. Instead of mind numbing mind-numbing tech stats of unique visitors, page views and what not get a Rollercoaster Tycoon like view of your website. Including buildings as pages, cabs and buses bringing people in actually in real, while they are there. That*s addictive I would be careful. I have got a discount setup for you over at visitorville.com/david, there you go.

Alright now what is Phishing in computing Phishing is the grabbing of sensitive information like passwords and other personal information from you by someone masterating as somebody trust worthy with a real need for the information. It is a form of social engineering you probably got some of these E-mails from Citibank or from PayPal or whatever. The term was coined in the mid 1990s by crackers attempting to steal AOL accounts and attacker would pose as an AOL staff member and send the instant message to a potential victim. It could be anything, but mostly it got around to verify your account, put your password in here. And once that password was in the instant message, the attacker would use the user name that he was talking to and the password to compromise the victims account, get in there, access and use it for a various purposes. Mostly it was you know in those days in it was just annoying because they really couldn*t do much but now your whole identity could be stolen. The term Phishing is sometime said to stand for password harvesting and Phishing. But probably not be careful whenever you get a piece of E-mail from somebody that claims to be PayPal, Citibank or whatever your bank is what is whatever your payment method is eBay, AOL anybody that*s a big huge target. And it looks very official be very, very careful never log in from a link in an E-mail. Today online criminals put Phishing to much more directly profitable uses. Popular targets all the online banking service, auction sites, online services. They direct you to a web page that looks exactly like the real web page and in some case if your browser hasn*t been updated recently even the URL can look real but it*s not be very, very careful. Always go to the actual URL and check things out. If you are contacted about an account needing to be verified or your information to be put in or updated just immediately assume that*s a problem. And contact the company that is extensively sending it to you, obviously if it comes to you and you are not even a part of it, you recognize it right away, well that*s a problem.
