Beginning the week of January 22, 2007
Don’t get “phished.” The kind of “phishing” I am talking about here has nothing to do with lures or tackle boxes. It is phishing spelled with a “ph.” Getting “phished” happens when you receive what looks like a harmless e-mail asking you to click on a link or download something. But, when you do this, your identity is ultimately stolen via the internet. Identity theft rocketed to an estimated 56 billion stolen in 2006.
