Show Notes:

What is Phishing? It is tricking individuals into revealing their personal information (SSA, Passwords, Credit Card Numbers) so their identity can be stolen.

Recently a number of top executives received an email indicating their company was involved in a civil law suit in the United States District Court in San Diego. The email contained their name, email address and the correct name of their company. The executives were instructed to immediately go to a website to download the information about the case. The download included a program to steal their personal and company information.

Many people were fooled. Much was stolen. Could this happen to you?
