It is a counterfeit e-mail message, mass-mailed by various groups of hackers, that deceives gullible users into disclosing credit card numbers, bank account information and various personal details. The professionally crafted e-mail message claims to come from a bank, financial institution or an ISP and usually demands the confirmation of personal data. After clicking the link, users are sent to a fraudulent site, which looks just like the institution's web site and are asked for various sensitive information.
