Phishing:

short for “password harvesting fishing”, is the luring of sensitive information, such as passwords and other personal information, from a victim by masquerading as someone trustworthy with a real need for such information.

The MailFrontier Phishing IQ Test:

We’ve put together 10 suspected fraud emails from our collection of millions-all of them real and all of them actually received by real people like you. Click on the link for each question, review the email, read it, and scroll (sorry, no clicking) over its links. Then tell us: Legitimate or Fraud.

My score:

You got 9 out of 10 correct, or 90 %
