What is phising?
Grim Squeaker
Pretending you are someone else (a bank, Amazon.com, Facebook, etc) in order to get someone to divulge important information (passwords, account numbers, usernames, etc).
Done via emails and fake websites.
Nothing is always absolutely so.

Phishing came from the words "Password" and "Fishing". An example about phishing, when someone gives you a link and you open it, the layout looks totally the same as the Facebook login page, and he told you to login, you input your username and your password, and then you click login, you actually haven't logged in, you actually sent your username and your password to him, the username and pass is maybe stored in a normal text file in his server, or sent to his email using the PHP "mail" function.
I have some phishing websites but I just do it for fun, I don't use the password in anyway. I will give you an example of it when I get my x10 Server runningIt is down right now.
Best,

"just for fun" or not, putting up phishing pages on x10hosting will get your hosting account permanently suspended and then deleted.Originally Posted by mjaoune5571

First of all, I haven't uploaded them yet. Second of all, you are that guy defending ACTA and SOPA, well I think I don't really like to talk to you, so please don't reply, I am not talking to you anyway.

First of all, I didn't defend ACTA and SOPA. I defended the concept of copyrights and intellectual property.
Second of all, I was just warning you that x10hosting does not differentiate between phishing sites "just for fun" or "for educational purposes" and the "real thing". Proceed at your own risk.

From the Wiktionary:
From the Wikipedia article:Etymology
Respelling of fishing (“trying to find”). In Usenet newsgroups, cracker and pirate groups used variant spellings of phish and warez (i.e. wares) to evade scans and filters by mainstream servers policing the ARPAnet/Internet.
"Phreak" is a portmanteau of "phone freak".A phishing technique was described in detail in 1987, and the first recorded use of the term "phishing" was made in 1996. The term is a variant of fishing, probably influenced by phreaking, and alludes to "baits" used in hopes that the potential victim will "bite" by clicking a malicious link or opening a malicious attachment, in which case their financial information and passwords may then be stolen.
