phishing
Definition:
Phishing (uttales som det engelske ordet fishing – fisking på norsk) er en metode for å lure datamaskinbrukere til å avsløre personlig eller finansiell informasjon gjennom en e‑postmelding eller et webområde. En vanlig phishing-svindel på Internett begynner med en e‑postmelding som ser ut som en offisiell henvendelse fra en pålitelig kilde, for eksempel en bank, et kredittkortselskap eller en velrenommert Internett-butikk. I e‑postmeldingen blir mottakerne henvist til et bedragersk webområde der de blir bedt om å oppgi personlige opplysninger, for eksempel kontonummer eller passord. Deretter brukes denne informasjonen vanligvis til identitetstyveri.

Phishing, nettfiske eller phiske er en betegnelse på digital snoking eller fisking etter sensitiv informasjon, som passord eller kredittkortnummer. Uttrykket kommer fra engelsk «fishing», der f-en er erstattet med «ph» (vanlig hackersjargong).

Example sentence(s):
