PHISING: How it works?
The technical is to make the victim believe that it is for a trusted third party website sales, administration, banking, social networking etc. In order to recover her personal information.
It is a form of computer attack based on social engineering and can be done by e-mail, fake websites or other electronic means.
PHISHING: How to protect?
The first thing to do is check the web address in the browser address bar when you are asked to click on a website.
A simple attack
IT Is to use a misspelled domain name, as http://www.faceboook.com/ instead of http://facebook.com/. Of course, the attacker has previously purchased the domain name misspelled.
A more sophisticated attack
It's is the use of a web address containing the "@" symbol.
For example, the Web address
http://www.paypal.com:refID12344234324@depotekk.com/
leads to http://www.depotekk.com not http://www.paypal.com.
An alternative to the use of the '@' is to use a sub-area, e.g.
http://www.paypal.com.example.com/
So to avoid falling into phishing, always check the address of the site to which you are asked to click. You jump out. : D
