Cyber criminals may use Olympics for phishing

Phising is the act of trying to obtain money or information like userids, passwords and credit card specific by disguising themselves as a  honorable entity in an electronic communication.

Apparently, there has been a warning to all that the scammers and phishers out there will be trying to use the 2012 Olympics, this summer in London, to get over on the people.  They are warning everyone to be really careful when purchasing Olympic apparel, items of interest, tickets, etc., from the internet.  There are fake sites that can and will draw people.  These sites, will attempt to sell you Olympic merchandise and when you give them your financial info they will take it and run.  Also, when you are preparing for your trip, beware of what connections you use to move your money.

Wow!  Can't even get ready for a trip to the Olympics because dishonest people are watching and waiting to take advantage of you.  What a wonderful world we live in.
