E-posta yoluyla insanların Internet üzerinde kullandıkları bilgileri (kullanıcı adları, şifreler) sanki bu e-postalar o bilgilerin gerçekten kullanıldığı şirketlerden gönderilmiş gibi talep ediliyor. Daha iki ay önce Garanti Bankası'nın web sitesiyle ilgili de böyle bir sorun olmuş ve birçok kişi mağdur duruma düşürülmüştü.

(kimlik hırsızlığı amacıyla) Sahte e-posta göndermek

AÇIKLAMA:

Kullanıcıyı dolandırarak kimliğini çalmak amacıyla, kurulmuş ve yasal şirket olduğunu yalan yere beyan eden e-posta göndermek

(v.)(1) Pronounced “fishing,” the 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 passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user’s information. For example, 2003 saw the proliferation of a phishing scam in which users received e-mails supposedly from eBay claiming that the user’s account was about to be suspended unless he clicked on the provided link and updated the credit card information that the genuine eBay already had. Because it is relatively simple to make a Web site look like a legitimate organizations site by mimicking the HTML code, the scam counted on people being tricked into thinking they were actually being contacted by eBay and were subsequently going to eBay’s site to update their account information. By spamming large groups of people, the “phisher” counted on the e-mail being read by a percentage of people who actually had listed credit card numbers with eBay legitimately.
Phishing, also referred to as brand spoofing or carding, is a variation on “fishing,” the idea being that bait is thrown out with the hopes that while most will ignore the bait, some will be tempted into biting.

self-explanatory
