Abstract: It is very much necessary to know how the process of hacking takes place in the area of network security. There are various kinds of hacking techniques available that would affect the users/internet-customers by harming their financial accounts in un-authorized ways. In this technical paper, we would like to explain how the innocent internet user gets affected by hackers and lose their money electronically. The definition of a hacker is made in the beginning and the fraud made by Krishna Karpal's email is explained as an example and the necessary URL is also provided to give the awareness to all the internet-users. Then the basic terminology used in network security is made available for the better understanding of the learners. Thereafter, the concept of Phishing and the necessary precautions to be taken by the internet-users is clearly mentioned. Our objective through this technical paper is to give awareness to internet-users not to respond to greedy advertisements which come through un-known emails for making more money in less time and not to divulge their user-id and password in any web-page except in an authorized web site.
