phishing

GBK English to Korean 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.

Definition from IT용어사전:

Example sentences:
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.
