Phishing (like fishing) is an attempt to steal your password and account information over the internet. Phishers set up fake websites like Yahoo to trick you into disclosing your username and password. Get more info about this here .
I hear a lot of people groan about problems with stolen ID's and password thefts over yahoo. A lot of people get their id's taken when they log into phishing sites, especially the Yahoo! Geocities. Well, yahoo has its newest security feature to prevent password theft. Anyone of you ever noticed the Prevent Password Theft feature? Check it out and get protection from phishers!

Also be aware of those Nigerian scams. The scam I got today was from Togo, however. Do a Google and you'll see what a Nigerian scam is. I guess I could call this one a Togolese scam?
