It is important to note that 'phishing' is a common form of internet piracy. It is used to steal confidential financial information like bank account numbers, net banking passwords, credit card numbers, personal identity details, and others. 

Perpetrators can use the information for siphoning money from the victim's account or run up bills on the victim's credit cards. One could also become the victim of identity theft.
