One of the most prevalent Internet threats currently is, no doubt, phishing. This consists of tricking a user to believe they are going to a trusted site like a bank, eBay, PayPal and or some other popular site. The trick is usually done using a web address very similar in appearance to the original (like paypa1.com). At the fake site (which would have the appearance of the authentic web site) the user is asked for personal information like social security number, account number, username, password or birth date, which can then be used to impersonate the user and access their account, money or credit.
