What does the term "phishing" mean?

What will be an ideal response?


Phishing refers to attempts by identity thieves to obtain personal information (social security numbers, bank account information, credit card numbers, and so on) from unsuspecting individuals. Such attempts sometimes take the form of "official" correspondence informing you that your bank account or email has been compromised in some way and that you must provide personal data so that the problem has been resolved. Such inquiries are most likely phishing efforts by identity thieves. All such correspondence should be ignored.
