PHISHING:
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THEFT:
In a phishing attack, the thieves pretend to be sending you to a reputable
site like Citibank and ask for your private data, so they can steal
your money or your identity. Recent research reports that one in twenty
people are fooled by these types of attacks, which is why the thieves
keep at it. To make sure you don't get caught in the scams, visit http://www.uni.edu/its/us/faqs/phishing.htm
