Phishing Kits Widely Compromised To Steal From Phishers (Information Week)

Semi-off-topic, but I would like to slap-with-a-wet-trout the person who coined the term
"phishing".  Nothing excessively wrong with it, except that when you're trying to talk about
it to a friend or co-worker, you always have to take a moment to explain that you're referring
to the email type, not the rod-and-reel type.  Which, in a case like this tends to weaken the
punchline (jokes are never improved when you have to stop to explain).

I am therefore starting a movement to get "pfishing" accepted as an alternate spelling.  I
realize it's too late to replace the existing usage, but it may not be too late for a useful
(because it's pronouncable) alternate spelling.  So I'd like to call on LWNers to help spread
this.  Sure, we'll occasionally have people criticize our apparent misspelling, but I think
that's a worthwhile price to pay for improving the world in a small way. :)
