Nowadays, most people realize that it’s risky to use credit card numbers online. However, from time to time, we all use passwords and government ID numbers on the Web. We think we are safe, but that may not be true! A new kind of attack is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from innocent websurfers
如今,大多數人都意識到在網路上使用信用卡號存在風險。然而,我們仍然會不時在網路上使用密碼和身分證號碼。我們以為自己很安全,但事實可能並非如此!不法分子正利用一種新型攻擊手段,竊取無辜網友的身分證號碼和信用卡號。
This new kind of attack is called “phishing.” Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing,” and it implies a thief is trying to lure people into giving away valuable information. How can phishers lure people to do this? Like real fishermen, they use bait in the form of great online deals or services. For example, phishers might use fake emails and false websites to con people into revealing credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate well-known banks, online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may convince as many as 5 percent of the people they contact to respond and give away their personal financial information.
這種新型攻擊被稱為「網路釣魚」。網路釣魚(Phishing)與「釣魚」(fishing)一詞發音相似,暗示著竊賊試圖誘騙人們洩露重要資訊。那麼,網路釣魚者是如何誘騙人們的呢?就像真正的漁民一樣,他們會使用誘餌,例如誘人的線上優惠或服務。例如,網路釣魚者可能會使用虛假電子郵件和虛假網站來欺騙人們洩露信用卡號、帳戶使用者名稱和密碼。他們會模仿知名銀行、網路商家和信用卡公司。成功的網路釣魚者可能會說服高達 5% 的受害者做出回應,並洩露他們的個人財務資訊。
Is this really a big problem? Actually, tricking 5 percent of the online population is huge! Currently, more than 350 million people have access to the Internet, and 75 percent of those Internet users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been estimated that phishers send more than 3 billion scam messages each year. Even by tricking only 5 percent of the people, phishers can make a lot of money.
這真的是個大問題嗎?實際上,欺騙5%的網友已經相當可觀了!目前,全球有超過3.5億人可以上網,其中75%的網友生活在世界上最富裕的國家。據估計,網路釣魚者每年發送的詐騙訊息超過30億條。即使只欺騙5%的人,網路釣魚者也能從中牟取暴利。

Since there is so much money to make through this kind of scam, it has caught the interest of more than just small-time crooks. Recently, police tracked down members of an organized phishing group in Eastern Europe who had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from people online. The group created official-looking email messages requesting people to update their personal information at an international bank’s website. However, the link to the bank in the message actually sent people to the phishers’ fake website. To make matters worse, further investigation revealed that this group had connections with a major crime gang in Russia.
由於這類詐騙有利可圖,它吸引了許多不法分子的注意。最近,警方在東歐追蹤到一個有組織的釣魚團夥,該團夥從網民手中竊取了數十萬美元。該團體偽造看似官方的電子郵件,要求人們在一家國際銀行的網站上更新個人資訊。然而,郵件中的銀行連結實際上會將用戶引導至釣魚者的虛假網站。更糟的是,進一步調查顯示,該集團與俄羅斯的一個大型犯罪集團有關。

How can innocent websurfers protect themselves? Above all, they have to learn to recognize email that has been sent by a phisher. Always be wary of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting (but fake) statements in their emails so that people will reply right away. Also, messages from phishers will not address recipients by name because they really don’t know who the recipients are yet. On the other hand, valid messages from your bank or other companies you normally deal with typically include your personal name.
無辜的網民該如何保護自己?首先,他們必須學會辨識釣魚郵件。務必警惕任何緊急索取個人財務資訊的郵件。釣魚者通常會在郵件中寫一些令人不安或興奮(但虛假)的內容,誘使人們立即回覆。此外,釣魚郵件不會使用收件人的姓名,因為他們實際上並不認識收件人。而來自銀行或其他常用機構的合法郵件通常會包含您的姓名。
