We all know or at least heard about phishing. The tipical example for phishing is you received email from your bank saying they are updating customer database and want you to logon to your bank account and update your record. In the email there is a link for you to click that look like from your bank. When you click to the given link, it will not direct you to your bank website but you will redirect you to fake website that look similar to your bank website. When you logon to the fake website, it will collect your user ID and password than they will use it to the actual bank website...you know what happen next.
This is information from trendmicro.
Now there's new phishing technoque, no URL link or redirection within this email like the old phishing mail. So how the new phishing work? You receive email and if the customer reply the mail, then they are “fish” by the phishing mail. So from this new phishing technique, the user awareness is very important to educate user on how to be more aware on nowadays security risk in order for them to avoid being “fish” by the phisher.
