Phishing (password + fishing) is a form of cyber crime based on social engineering and site spoofing techniques. The name of 'phishing' is a conscious misspelling of the word 'fishing' and involves stealing confidential data from a user's computer and subsequently using the data to steal the user's money. In this paper, we study, discuss and propose the phishing attack stages and types, technologies for detection of phishing web pages, and conclude our paper with some important recommendations for preventing phishing for both consumer and company.
