Phishing attacks use both social engineering and technical subterfuge to steal consumers'
personal identity data and financial account credentials. Social-engineering schemes use 'spoofed' e-mails
to lead consumers to counterfeit websites designed to trick recipients into divulging financial data such as
credit card numbers, account usernames, passwords and social security numbers. Hijacking brand names of banks,
e-retailers and credit card companies, phishers often convince recipients to respond. Technical subterfuge schemes
plant crimeware onto PCs to steal credentials directly, often using Trojan keylogger spyware. Pharming
crimeware misdirects users to fraudulent sites or proxy servers, typically through DNS hijacking or poisoning.
