One of the most common methods of phishing occurs over email. Here's how it works:
A fraudster sends you an email that appears to come from a reputable company. The email explains that you need to log in to your account (for a seemingly valid reason) and provides a convenient link. Once you click the link, you are taken to a website so you can log in. That website looks exactly like the real thing, but it isn't.
The fraudster has replicated the website, and if you log in they will have your user name and password. This allows them to log in to your real account, and then they will have access to any private information you have stored (credit card numbers, etc.)
You can avoid this type of phishing scam by always entering the complete URL of any website you visit before logging in. Don't trust an email that asks you to click a link and log in to your account - just delete them.
Another method of phishing is called Tabnabbing. This is a clever scam that begins when you inadvertently download a third party script. Once this script is active on your computer, it can literally take control of an inactive browser tab (most people have several tabs open while Surfing the web) and transform the screen into something that looks exactly like a website you probably use (perhaps an email account, bank account, etc.) regularly.
Tabnabbers hope you will assume that you were using this website and your session timed out. If you log in to their replica site, they will have your user name and password. Like email phishing scams, the best way to avoid tabnabbing is to always type in the complete URL of any website you visit before you log in.
The methods or techniques of phishing include Trojan Hosts, instant messaging, key loggers, link manipulation, session hacking, content injection, and many others.
Can you get in trouble with the law for using false pictures on dating websites?
it's not a crime, but 1. the person whose picture you are using can sue you if they find out you are using their picture without their permission, and 2. why would you do that anyway? if your relationship starts out with a lie it will never last, and when you meet this person and they see you don't look like your picture they are probably going to leave you for lying to them. trust is important, don't lie, just use your own picture. why would you want somebody to like "you" when you're not even the person in the picture? it's like they don't really like you.
A scam, or more precisely - "phishing". The scammers "phish" (the connotation to "fishing" is very correct) for users who will "take the bhait" and visit the scammers' web service, usually made to look indentical to that of the legitimate business they're trying to appear to be, and urge the confused user to enter his real information into their prepared web site.
That information is then commonly used to commit crimes, including monetary theft and identity hijacking/theft.
The easiest way to check if a message is a scam is to verify where it's trying to lead you to, and most importantly, to check on the actual business' web page for any attention notices. If that fails, due dilligence would ask for checking if the exact same web page (the same address and all) can be accessed through normal browsing on the business' web site. If these things are missing or problematic, a scam is very likely.
And don't worry about your details - if it's a bank, or some other large business, they will most likely notify you by other means eventually, if the threat is legitimate. E-mail is not the most urgent communication channel (phone is much faster), and besides, if an account is suspect, it will first and foremost be suspended, and the owner will be called in to personally clear things up - an e-mail is insufficient for that.
Also remember that most (some 99.9% of) services will never ask you for your password. They may ask for an answer to a security quesiton, or may ask you to login to your account and input a special code somewhere in there to verify your identity, but sending passwords through unencrypted e-mails is at least very, very foolish.

Keylogger (also called keystroke logger) is a program on your computer or mobile that logs the keystrokes you type.
There are two types: hardware keyloggers and software keyloggers. When we talk about keyloggers, we usually refer to software keylogger.
Some software keyloggers are bundled with other programs, which can help themselves be installed to the computer without people knowing. They are spyware and dangerous for online personal information.
Some other software keyloggers are independent applications which need manually installation and even admin password to install onto your computer. They are normally used as parental monitoring software or employee monitoring software.

What are steps to take to prevent becoming a victim of a phishing scam?
First and foremost, be very aware and careful of anything you do while online. Scam artists are very clever, and they constantly come up with new schemes to attempt to steal your personal information.
Two general tips to help you avoid becoming a victim of phising:
1. If you get an email the asks for your password or other personal information, or an email that asks you to click on a link and log in to a personal account (email, banking, credit card, etc.) ignore it. Do not provide personal information.
2. Before you log in to any site, enter the complete URL. Do this every time. Scammers have created a clever new trick called Tabnabbing which allows them to take control over a computer screen and literally change it to something that appears to be the log in page of a commonly used site. The best way to protect yourself from this and similar schemes is to always type in the full URL of any site before you log in.
Spoofing disadvantages include a loss of trust, as it undermines the integrity of communications and transactions, leading to potential financial and reputational damage. It can also result in legal consequences for the perpetrator, as many forms of spoofing are illegal. Additionally, spoofing can compromise personal and sensitive information, making individuals and organizations vulnerable to identity theft and fraud. Finally, it may necessitate increased security measures, resulting in higher costs for businesses to protect against such threats.
The name gurney comes from its similarity to a horse-drawn cab patented in the U.S. in 1883 by J. Theodore Gurney. A gurney, (known as a trolley in British medical context) is the U.S. term for a type of stretcher used in modern hospitals and ambulances in developed areas. A hospital gurney is a kind of narrow bed on a wheeled frame which may be adjustable in height. For ambulances, a collapsible gurney is a type of stretcher on a variable-height wheeled frame. Normally, an integral lug on the gurney locks into a sprung latch within the ambulance in order to prevent movement during transport. As you can see - there are quite a few variations on the gurney, so the question needs to be made more specific. In general though - the first gurney was probably just a bed on wheels with many modifications made incrementally over the years. It may also be noted that a plausible argument might be made that a simple wheelbarrow was a forerunner of the modern gurney in that they were used in the middle ages to transport dead bodies during the plague and could be used to transport a sick person just as easily. That said - unless you want to specify a particular model of gurney, the question cannot be answered definitively.
