      These phishing activity has been rise since from December, also its biggest target is Banking Sites but now its followed by free email services such as Gmail, Yahoo etc.. & with Social Networking Sites such as Orkut, Facebook etc..

      While discussing the issue one of the staff from Google said that, we always advise our users to be wary of any message that asks for your personal information, or messages that refer you to a web page asking for personal information. Google or Gmail does not send unsolicited mass messages asking for passwords or personal information; even if the message asking for it claims to be from us, please don't believe it.

      So please be sure & careful for clicking such links & updating such details. We do know that it is an hard job to identify between the fake & original notices. But still we should be well enough to handle these attack from now.
