Phishing is a term coined by computer hackers, who use e-mail to fish the Internet hoping to "hook" recipients into giving them logins, passwords and/or other sensitive information. In all these scams, the phisher first impersonates a legitimate company. In a typical scam, the phisher instructs recipients to click on a convenient link (e.g. a file or document number) to receive or provide information that can then be used by phishers to access the recipient's sensitive personal or business information.
