So what is phishing:

Phishing is a criminal act where phishers or hackers attempt to fraudulently acquire very sensitive information, such as passwords, usernames and credit card details, by looking as a trustworthy agent in an electronic communication. Paypal and eBay are two of the most targeted companies which is a big problem for them, also online banks are common targets. Phishing is typically carried out by email.
