English term

phishing

GBK English to Latvian Social Sciences Internet, e-Commerce
Definition from Webopedia:
The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user’s information.

Pikšķerēšana

Tas ir, manuprāt, pietiekami labs tulkojums.
