Phishing is a form of online identity theft that employs both social engineering
and technical subterfuge to steal consumers' personal identity data and
financial account credentials. (from
Anti-Phishing Working Group
)
Over the past year Gartner reports that Phishing scams cost banks and
credit-card companies over $10.2 billion USD.
Victims of Identity Theft discover the crime usually almost six months
afterward. More than one of every four victims of identity fraud is unable
to resolve their cases after a year of trying. Even more alarming; sixteen
percent of victims wind up paying an average of $6440.00. (from
Information Week
