            • 피싱　【phishing】 금융기관 등의 정규의 메일이나 Web사이트로 위장하여, 비밀번호나 크레디트 카드 번호를 착취하는 사기. IT용어사전 - by J Chae (X)
          • Example sentence(s)
            • 컴퓨팅에서, 피싱(phishing, carding 카딩[*], spoofing 스푸핑[*])은, 전자우편 또는 메신저를 사용해서 신뢰할 수 있는 사람 또는 기업이 보낸 메시지인 것처럼 가장함으로써, 비밀번호 및 신용카드 정보와 같이 기밀을 요하는 정보를 부정하게 얻으려는 social engineering의 한 종류이다. ‘피싱’이란 용어는 점점 더 복잡한 미끼들을 사용해서 사용자의 금융 정보와 패스워드를 ‘낚는’다는 데서 유래되었다. 피싱 사고에 대한 신고가 늘어감에 따라, 피싱을 막으려는 방법들이 필요하게 되었다. 이런 방법들에는 법, 사용자 교육, 그리고 기술적인 도구들이 있다. 최근에는 컴퓨터를 이용한 피싱외에도 보이스피싱(voice phishing)이라고 하여 전화를 이용한 피싱도 등장하고 있다. - 위키백과 by J Chae (X)
