Security Pro News has a remarkable article concerning Phishermen Phishing down on the Pharm. This pretty much sums the matter up:
The bottom line is: don’t provide any information at the behest of an email, no matter how authentic it looks, or how authentic the page it directs you to looks. If you must log in, do so at the parent site itself.
Your Identity Theft prevention and protection is, in the final analysis, up to you.
Don’t be the next sheep fleeced by the pharmers who caught you with the phisherman’s hook. Being dropped naked into their frying pan is NOT a fate you want.

Paper gliders are fun to make and even more fascinating to fly. The Lifehacker blog goes into more detail here and here, and TeamDroid’s article is definitely worth a read as well. Enjoy.
