Phishing is an attempt to steal an access, identity or useful information by making a fake pages. Usually they attempt to steal e-mail, username, password, bank account number, etc.
Never reveal your passwords. Not even to family or close friends. Of course you trust your family and friends but once revealed you can never be sure that they will not unwittingly reveal your password to someone else. There may be occasions, due to sickness or accident for example, when you have to allow family or close friends to access some on-line accounts. Following such occasions you should change your passwords as soon as practically possible.

For who don't know, Entrecard is a new blogger tool that enables bloggers to exchange advertising space and in turn grow their sites. A very nice idea if I must say so myself. The cool thing about it is that it also works.
Unlike things like blogrush etc this one genuinely generates traffic to your site and brings dedicated readers that will be interested in what you have to say. So Click the link above and check them out and enjoy free advertising and traffic exchange. It’s one of the best ways to grow a new blog!
Entrecard has finally added the ability for users to have more than one blog in their system. You could implement this in the past by setting up an account for each blog, but this was a major pain in the neck. Now there’s a new option called “Linked Blogs”
This lets you add a new blog, or join up a different blog you had created a new account for. Linked blogs have the following properties:
- Linked blogs are displayed as “Other blogs by this author” on the profile page
- There are no limits on credit transfers between linked blogs
- When dropping, the currently Active card is the card that is dropped
- Each blog may drop on up to 300 sites per day
There are other features they have introduced (including a new home page), but this is the best feature I think. It’s interesting how once you get used to the base service a website offers, it’s the new stuff that attracts your attention, just like shiny kitchen faucets on an old kitchen. New features make the service exciting once again, give it that spot of freshness.
