Sc@mmed

Summary: There’s a new scam making the rounds on the internet. An e-mail from a major company, like VISA, E-Bay, or PayPal arrives in your inbox. The e-mail asks you to confirm your personal information by clicking on a link. Although the web site looks legitimate, it’s not. The e-mail, as well as the web site, are fakes created by crooks in order to grab your personal information in a scam called “phishing”. This program explores the underworld that lives behind your computer screen.
