Phishing Phishing refers to a scam used by criminals to trick people into revealing passwords, credit card information, and other sensitive information. On Facebook, phishing attempts occur through message or wall posts from a friend's account that was breached.

The point of the post is to get the users to visit a website with viruses and malware.
