English term

phishing

GBK English to Swedish Social Sciences Internet, e-Commerce
Definition from Webopedia:
The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user’s information.

Nätfiske är säkert en bra term att använda. Jag vill bara tillägga att även phishing används på svenska.
