About phishing:

Phishing is a method of stealing personal security data. The personal security data can be web banking user ids, passwords, debit card numbers etc.

Modus of operandi:

Ø       A large database of valid email addresses will be procured by the fraudsters in advance through publicly available sources.

Ø       Fraudsters will send spam email to these email ids. This email is designed in such a way to look exactly like an email sent by the targeted bank.

Ø       This email will have links and on clicking this links, recipient will be directed to a web site which looks similar to Banks’ web site.

Ø        This site prompts the recipient to provide their user id, password etc which the fraudster can record and use for fraudulent transactions.
