These days’ social networking sites like face book are highly targeted sites for phishing purpose. These attacks are mainly carried by using Emails, Instant messaging or phone calls. Phishing is a example of social engineering to make the fool of user. In Phishing, people are convinced to enter their private information in spoofed sites.

For example:-The URL given below may seem to take you to orkut but it will take you to our homepage. You can test it by clicking on the link.
