Example of the Outlook.com phishing email. Image source: http://theworkingmouse.com/beware-of-outlook-phishing-scam/
Just this January, nearly 400 million Outlook.com users were sent an email like the one above. If you had clicked to update your account, you would have been taken to a pretty convincing Outlook.com website and asked to enter your login credentials. This is “phishing”, which presents a seemingly legitimate email that tries to get you to visit a malicious website or open a malware-laden attachment. The purpose is to capture your sensitive information: private documents, passwords, social security number, email contacts, credit card numbers, etc.

Epsilon breach used four-month-old attack, iTnews.com.au http://www.itnews.com.au/News/253712,epsilon-breach-%20%20%20%20%20used-four-month-old-attack.aspx
Phishing emails can be mass-mailers like the previous example, or they can be more personal. They can be highly targeted to you, which makes them even harder to spot. Take this email that was received by the employees in charge of email operations at Epsilon. It purported to be from a long lost friend. It seemed innocent – a friendly email announcing a recent wedding and including a link to view some photos. Reports don’t say how many Epsilon employees received the email or how many clicked on the link, but at least one person did. And it only takes one to infect an entire organization. The link in the email contained three pieces of malware that infected the user’s computer, exposing the email marketing lists of many of their clients. What happened to the staff at Epsilon was more targeted than regular phishing emails. The phishers chose specific people because of their role within the company. The emails those employees received mentioned their employer and played on the likelihood that people enjoy looking at photos. 4
