Teen 'phisher' arrested

This case could fall under cyberbullying and/or ID theft headings – Japan's first phishing case involving a minor. Japanese police arrested a 14-year-old in Nagoya "on suspicion of fraud," Agence France-Presse reported. He allegedly created a Web site (a "phishing site") that looked like a popular game site and, in that site, captured the email addresses and other personal info of 94 people. Police say he used the information to threaten the people if they didn't send him nude photos of themselves. Parents, tell your kids to be wary of phishing in popular social-networking sites – specifically, of prompts to log in again. This has been reported to happen MySpace: Someone logs in as usual, then a screen pops up prompting you to log in again, which people sometimes do unthinkingly. That "log-in" steals your username and password and can potentially take you to a Web page that can download malicious software code onto your computer.
