Phishing is attempting to acquire information (and sometimes, indirectly, money) such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public. Phishing is typically carried out by e-mail spoofing or instant messaging, and it often directs users to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one. Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to deceive users, and exploits the poor usability of current web security technologies. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical security measures.
A phishing technique was described in detail in 1987, and (according to its creator) the first recorded use of the term "phishing" was made in 1995. The term is a variant of fishing, probably influenced by phreaking, and alludes to "baits" used in hopes that the potential victim will "bite" by clicking a malicious link or opening a malicious attachment, in which case their financial information and passwords may then be stolen.
George Arthur Akerlof (born June 17, 1940) is an American economist and Koshland Professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. He won the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics (shared with Michael Spence and Joseph E. Stiglitz).
Akerlof is perhaps best known for his article, "The Market for Lemons: Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism", published in Quarterly Journal of Economics in 1970, in which he identified certain severe problems that afflict markets characterized by asymmetrical information, the paper for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize. In Efficiency Wage Models of the Labor Market, Akerlof and coauthor Janet Yellen (his wife) propose rationales for the efficiency wage hypothesis in which employers pay above the market-clearing wage, in contradiction to the conclusions of neoclassical economics.
In his latest work, Akerlof and collaborator Rachel Kranton of Duke University introduce social identity into formal economic analysis, creating the field of Identity Economics. Drawing on social psychology and many fields outside of economics, Akerlof and Kranton argue that individuals do not have preferences only over different goods and services. They also adhere to social norms for how different people should behave. The norms are linked to a person's social identities. These ideas first appeared in their article "Economics and Identity", published in Quarterly Journal of Economics in 2000.
Inspirtation,
Oh, she barely waits a moment
Elevator doors open
Hear her footsteps touch the stairs
Words walk by
Describing definition
Stop and talk about it
Narcissus
Is just too easy to see
We're always looking
When we see fishes
When we go fishin'
Thoughts meander
Risin' all around us
Rise and fall and rise again
Oh, we stop and talk about it
Strong beliefs
Like ideas come to life
Turn atoms into rain and stone
Sands and tall trees
Worlds passed by
Defyin' description
Stop and talk about it
Talk about it
And Maia, she dances
She dissolves into the light
Illusions of light
Oh Maia, she dances
Deep romance and poetry
Songs and movies
Virtue for la de da
She dances in the light
Dance in the light
Maia, she dances
Closed mouth catches no flies
Burning bridges as you're crossing is not very wise
When analysed
Be tongue-tied
Play snakes and ladders
But not suicide
Like casting pearl before swine
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Crawl back in your own dustbin
From you expect this lack of respect
To be sly
Not one of a kind
Pretty picture
Bad frame of mind
Like casting pearl before swine
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl
I've learned caution
This comes from wisdom
These altitudes
These dizzying heights
These bottomless pits
These sweet delights
Like me
You are unlike me
Like me
You are unlike me
Go crawl
Back in
Your dustbin
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Under surveillance
Sweet subservience
I think you're stupid
But you're worth the mention
People who need people
Are the stupidest of people
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Closed mouth catches no flies
Burning bridges as you're crossing is not very wise
When analysed
Be tongue-tied
Play snakes and ladders
But not suicide
Like casting pearl before swine
Talking to you is a waste of time
You burned the bridges you've been crossing
Go crawl back into your dustbin
Crawl back in your own dustbin

Go crawl back into your dustbin
Go crawl back into your dustbin

Wishing
That I could see you every day
Wishing
That I could steal your heart away
Dreaming
Of the time I can hold you tight
Wishing
That the time would come tonight
I've been hoping all along
Things would turn out right
If I could find the wishing star
Then I would spend the night
Wishing
That I could see you every day
Wishing
That I could steal your heart away
I've been hoping all along
Things would turn out right
If I could find the wishing star
Then I would spend the night
Wishing
That I could see you every day
Wishing
Landscapes in the wild
Upon a shore of a sea open wide
The great escape from your wife
She's the best mistake of your life
Always starts when you cry
Never ends with a smile
All you've said was a big, big lie
On the wings of love we falter
A day with you a big disaster
Soon forever will be over
How i wish
Never has a sweet november
All i had was a dark october
For a while i wanted to die
Give me a minute to clear my head
Let me recognize
That you ain't half who you want to be
Comes as no surprise
I've seen the highs and I've seen the lows
Of the seasons' change
Let people come and let people go
There's no easy way
Well, I try
Wishing I was somebody else
But it never seems to get me nowhere
Wishing I was somebody else
I'll be your friend and I'll tell no lies
So just hear me out, only hear me out
I could tell you you're beautiful without a trace of doubt
Not a trace of doubt
In good time
I'll swear I'll be king in your eyes
For all the nights you'll never sleep wondering why
Well, I try
Wishing I was somebody else
But it never seems to get me nowhere
Wishing I was somebody else
Somebody else
In good time
I'll swear I'll be king in your eyes
For all the nights you'll never sleep wondering why
Well, I try
Wishing I was somebody else
But it never seems to get me nowhere
Wishing I was somebody else
I get by
Wishing I was somebody else
But it never seems to get me nowhere
Wishing I was somebody else
(Masta Ace)
Yeah
I wish the president would stop lyin'
Black babies would stop cryin'
And young brothas would stop dying'
I wish the police would stop killin'
Politicians'll stop stealin' and actin' like they not dealin'
When they know they got bricks on the street
At the country club fixin' to eat
I can see 'em now
I wish we'd get this shit figured out
And stop goin' the trigger route
And actin' all niggered out
On the block with the nine cocked
I wish we'd try and stop
Stop pushin' for the prime box
I wish we wasn't so obsessed with death
Tell me, is it cuz we blessed with less?
I don't know really
I wish the world was safer
I'm scared to travel abroad
That's why, I travel with the lord
I wish a cab would stop for me in the rain
I know you wanna call me insane
I'm a dreamer (I'm a dreamer)
(Edo G)
I wish my pops didn't die when I was seven years old
If there's life after death, Is heaven this cold?
I wish I could wipe the tears of all the cryin' mothers
Wish New York niggas didn't start flyin' colors
I wish my people stop avoidin' the truth
BET stop poisonin' youth
We need changes for teenagers
As they go through phases
More than just a concrete jungle, A world with green acres
I wish I'd been more diligent
Smart cats rhyme militant
The fresh rhyme ignorant
I wish the world didn't give us funny looks
Think we all just dummies and crooks
Athletes and entertainers singin' hooks
We need more black babies that's into books (Read on)
I wish God could take away the pain
I know you wanna call me insane
I'm a dreamer (I'm a dreamer)
(Masta Ace)
I wish I didn't get searched when I come through customs
I wish Christians stop beefin' with Muslims
Wish the poor didn't have to take welfare
Wish America had universal health care
Cuz ain't no help here
In a country where we don't fight fair
The American Dream becomes a nightmare
It's all hype here
And on this track, Bust all I might bear
I wish Bush just get out of office (Get out!)
Before he start World War 3 and try to off us
It won't cost them, But it'll cost us
don't make that face
it makes me?
that's ok
i guess the circle would be complete then
chorus
it's not your point i'm missing
you're just fishing
so find yourself a?
find yourself a hole (pole?)
i'll be here
waiting for your hands?
well that's ok
that's how i wanted to go now
Please have a seat. I'm sorry I'm late
I know how long you've had to wait
I did not forget your documents
No time to waste, why not begin?
Here's how it works, I've got these faces
You give them names and I won't deport you
Make sure you face my tape recorder
Make no mistake, this fountain pen
Could put you on a plane by ten
And by the way, your next of kin
I know which house she's hiding in
So now that you know whose skin you're saving
In this photograph, who's this one waving?
I think you know, so speak up, amigo
It says here that by trade you were a fisherman
Well I'll bet you Indians can really reel them in
And if you get the chance
You should try to get up to Lake Michigan
Well maybe, but then again...
Where were we then? Is he your friend?
Well I recommend that you look again
Where does he stay? What is his name?
There is no shame. He'd do the same
So what do you say? I don't have all day
It's up to you. Which will it be
Good citizen or poor campesino?
My dad used to rent us this place in Ontario
He showed us how to cast the line and tie the flies
He used to say that God rewards us for letting the small ones go
Well maybe, but I don't know
Anyway, it's easy to bite. You just take the bait
You can't fight the hook
Hurts less if you don't try to dive
Senor, as you know I was a fisherman
And how full the nets came in
We hauled them up by hand
But when we fled, I left them just out past the coral reefs
They're waiting there for me
