The Word Spy - phishing: "Phishing is the term coined by hackers who imitate legitimate companies in e-mails to entice people to share passwords or credit-card numbers. Recent victims include Charlotte's Bank of America, Best Buy and eBay, where people were directed to Web pages that looked nearly identical to the companies' sites.
The term had its coming out this week when the FBI called phishing the 'hottest, and most troubling, new scam on the Internet.' The name appears to have no connection to the band Phish, an FBI spokesman said.
