Don't get confuse with the word phishing or fishing...
First time i heard the word phishing when i were in a Legal framework class which i learned it in the Data Protection Regulation...
Webopedia.com said phishing is a act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as password and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The web site however is set up only to steal the user's information.

It's happened to me before where i got an unwanted e-mail or spam from ----site. In the e-mail, they ask me to renew password and certain information about my personal details. Lucky that I'm a type of person who always ignores this kind of information or e-mail, or i will be one of the victim that has been cheated. After learned this phishing term, now i know how to recognize the phishing e-mail by looking at the url or the sender.
