[Term] Phishing [Definition] 
Phishing is a type of social engineering attack designed to convince a user to give up confidential personal information. Phishing attacks usually come through e-mail and are created to look like authentic e-mails from companies such as eBay or various banks. They usually ask you to fill out a form to "verify your information." The attacker then uses this information to steal a victim's identity. If you have questions about a suspicious e-mail, you may forward that e-mail to spam@naz.edu or call ITS at x2111.
