The Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection will host a half-day roundtable discussion on phishing education on Tuesday, April 1, 2008. Phishing is a form of online identity theft that uses deceptive spam to trick consumers into divulging sensitive or personal information, including credit card numbers and other financial data, either through email or a link to a copycat site. The roundtable event will provide an opportunity for experts from business, government, the technology sector, the advocacy community, academia, and the media to discuss new strategies to increase awareness of the issue and decrease risky online behavior.
