Hacking
Hacker: May mean simply a person with mastery of computers.
TIMELINE Early 1960s Hackers begin breaking into mainframe computers. 1983 The FBI busts six teen-age hackers from Milwaukee; one of the first arrests of hackers. 1984 First issue of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly in New York: prime source for hacking information 1985 Phrack, an electronic magazine about computer hacking, begins. 1987 AT&T computers hacked into by Herbert Zinn............................................... ...................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................... February 2000 In only three days some hackers brought down some of the biggest Web sites in the world that included Yahoo!, Amazon.com, Buy.com, eBay and CNN.com. They used"Denial of Service" attacks to overloaded the sites' servers by sending them an excessive number of data requests. Commercial Banking Technology in Indian Banking 2007 54

Phishing
A method of identity theft carried out through the creation of a website that seems to represent a legitimate company. The visitors to the site, thinking they are buying something from a real business, submit their personal information to the site. The criminals then use the personal information for their own purposes, or sell the information to other criminal parties.

Skimming
An electronic method of capturing a victim's personal information used by identity thieves. The skimmer is a small device that scans a credit card and stores the information contained in the magnetic strip. Skimming can take place during a legitimate transaction at a business. Skimming can occur easily in a restaurant because your card is taken away when the bill is being settled. If your server is a skimming identity thief, he or she will, before giving the card back to you, scan the credit card with a hand-held electronic device, which takes only seconds. The electronically captured information is then used to by the thief or sold to other criminals
Commercial Banking Technology in Indian Banking 2007 58

Trojan
Trojan horse is a program that installs malicious software while under the guise of doing something else. Though not limited in their payload, Trojan horses are more notorious for installing backdoor programs which allow unauthorized non permissible remote access to the victim's machine by unwanted parties normally with malicious intentions. Unlike a computer virus, a Trojan horse does not propagate by inserting its code into other computer files. The term is derived from the classical myth of the Trojan Horse. Like the mythical Trojan Horse, the malicious code is hidden in a computer program or other computer file which may appear to be useful, interesting, or at the very least harmless to an unsuspecting user. When this computer program or file is executed by the unsuspecting user, the malicious code is also executed resulting in the set up or installation of the malicious Trojan horse program. (See Social engineering.) Often the term is shortened to simply Trojan.
