Cybercrime
Phishing is an email-based fraud.
The fraudsters send emails purporting to be from reputable companies or other legitimate sources, in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.
The name 'phishing' is a grim joke variant on 'fishing'.
