  • Planning. Phishers decide which business to target and determine how to get e-mail addresses for the customers of that business. They often use the same mass-mailing and address collection techniques as spammers.
  • Setup. Once they know which business to spoof and who their victims are, phishers create methods for delivering the message and collecting the data. Most often, this involves e-mail addresses and a Web page.
  • Attack. This is the step people are most familiar with -- the phisher sends a phony message that appears to be from a reputable source.
  • Collection. Phishers record the information victims enter into Web pages or popup windows.
  • Identity theft and fraud. The phishers use the information they've gathered to make illegal purchases or otherwise commit fraud. As many as a fourth of the victims never fully recover.
