Phishing

Phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Phishing is an example of techniques used to fool users. The most common method of phishing is by sending misleading e-mails that point to websites masquerading as legitimate account-holding institutions.
==For World of Warcraft==
For World of Warcraft players, the most frequently encountered type of phishing are e-mails that pretend to be sent from Blizzard Entertainment but usually point to some domain or URL that sound similar to a legitimate one, but is not.
