Hello,

I've just come across the term "phlishing" whilst reading about
security issues. From what I can gather it's used in the same context
of "phishing", which I understand. Are there any differences? Is
phlishing more specific? Any light on the matter would be great.

Many thanks,
Jo

I would agree with that, I have heard of pharming but not phlishing.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. First thoughts I had were that it was a typo.
A colleague did find this though, which was a slightly different
spelling:

That article is 3 years old. If the word hasn't caught on yet, I doubt
it will.
