Dear Valued Customer,

Due to the high number of fraud attempts and phishing scams, it has been decided to implement EV
SSL Certification on this Internet Banking website.

The use of EV SSL certification works with high security Web browsers to clearly identify whether
the site belongs to the company or is another site imitating that company’s site.

Here is a phishing email from that has supposedly come from Ally Bank.

What is Phishing?
As the technology advances it takes criminal technology too along with it. In the modern days of computers people try to find out an easy solution to all the problems they have using computers and so they have passwords, user names etc. The simplest definition of phishing could be that any activity which is done to steal these personal and confidential details is called Phishing.
