Sarah introduced me to bubbl.us. I like it,above is a map of my online presence.
phishing - is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to capture information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. (http://en.wikipedia.org). My bank regularly sends emails and lists on its website that that they will never ask for passwords or pin numbers to be verified online, this is because customers have given this info out to criminals.
pharming - redirects users to false websites without them even knowing it. It is done by interfering with a webpage IP address which means people are redirected to a false page. Hence they can collect personal information from them.
privacy invasion - is the intrusion into the personal by someone/s, without just cause. It includes Internet privacy, data collection, and other means of disseminating private information.
identity theft - is when someone uses a persons personal information to pretend to be them in order to steal or commit a crime.
for a better look at my State of Presence online.
