How to Secure Your Onlines Accounts from PHISHING Using By HACKERS

Phishing  according to Wikipedia, is the act of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public.
Phishing can also be seen as an act of cloning a site e.g If someone want to hack your Facebook Account, He/She would need an Exact Page like the Facebook Homepage with a little PHP Code at the back of the Script and then Upload it online {usually hosted online free}, then share the link on facebook or other site and lie to you that you can Make or Get $1000 in 3 Days and all that kind of attractive lies and when you click on the Link, A Facebook Homepage will show up, If you dare input your Email and Password, The Details will be sent to the email address of the Hacker.
The example of Phishing site is the clone of 2go site made by an hacker and use it to lying to the people that if they enter their 2go username and password in to the site, they will get big 2go credit in the next 10minutes.
Click here to view the site and if you are doubting me, you may login to that site with your 2go username and password and see what will happen to your 2go account in the next 10 to 20 minutes.
