Spam is irritating, annoying, disturbing and can create problems to our networks. But phishing is actually devastating. It can cause and inflict irreparable damages. Phishing is the formation of e-mail messages and web pages that are duplicated in such a way it seems like an original and asks users to divulge their passwords, credit card details, other personal information, etc. It is a great menace for Internet users.

Phishing is a way of stealing an individual’s personal information and use that information to steal money from their account. Nowadays, there is an alarming rise in the number of fraudulent activities. Though many activities are carried out against it but phishing still remains a major fraudulent activity as the criminals are also becoming equally clever. Though there are many       anti–phishing groups, laws and many technological developments which tell us about the different phishing techniques, there is a need to create widespread awareness about the phishing techniques and how to prevent it.

A lot of financial institutions now days, are opting for anti phishing training for their staff. For the simple reason that they do not want any kind of leakage of data to happen and also to educate them so that they may in turn educate their clientele on the said subject.

Talking of trainings, you must have heard about the normal procedures of training like an e-training module, class room training, offsite trainings so on and so forth.
