Phishing, Pharming and more...!

I think that you guys might have heard about Phishing and Pharming. Phishing is a way to hack into profiles illegally. I wonder why the bad guys do this. Just stinks! I think that this is not a good job to undertake. This process involves creation of a fake web page with a layout similar to that of the original webpage with the location and URL, the same one. SUch pages contain a text area where you can enter your username and password and you hit enter. If you do that, be sure, you are HACKED!!! So this is hacking and the method better called Phishing.
You wil be directwed to Phishing websites when Pharming mails are send to your inbox. Pharming mails can be alerts or warnings mentioning that you should use their page to access the account of a website. Such Pharming mails are often used to sneak out the security codes to access credit cards if you are an E-Banker with a considerable bank balance.
I told in the title that i am gonna talk about Phishing, Pharming and more.
What is this more?
