| Even though @lantic employs state of the art Anti-virus and Spam filters which currently remove 97% of all e-mails received there will always be a very small percentage of unwanted e-mails coming through. A typical example is the phising e-mail message showed in red below of which the purpose is to solicit sensitive information from you. |

| Definition of PHISING | ||||||||||||||
In computing, phishing is an attempt to criminally and fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. eBay, PayPal and online banks are common targets. Phishing is typically carried out by email or instant messaging,and often directs users to enter details at a website, although phone contact has also been used. |
