The word ‘Phishing’ initially emerged in 1990s. The early
hackers often use ‘ph’ to replace ‘f’ to produce new words in
the hacker’s community, since they usually hack by phones.
Phishing is a new word produced from ‘fishing’, it refers to
the act that the attacker allure users to visit a faked Web
site by sending them faked e-mails (or instant messages), and
stealthily get victim’s personal information such as user name,

then can be used for future target advertisements or even
identity theft attacks (e.g., transfer money from victims’ bank
account).
