Two sometimes inter-related crimes pose a threat to your bottom line: phishing and identity fraud. For that reason, we have pulled together a comprehensive set of articles, links, Q&As and tools relating to each of them.
Dictionary.com defines phishing as: the practice of luring unsuspecting Internet users to a fake Web site by using authentic-looking email with the real organization's logo, in an attempt to steal passwords, financial or personal information, or introduce a virus attack; the creation of a Web site replica for fooling unsuspecting Internet users into submitting personal or financial information or passwords.
BankersOnline.com has compiled an extensive list of banking related phishing articles, tools and much more.
