The term "phishing" was first recorded in 1995 in the cracking toolkit AOHell, but may have been used earlier in the hacker magazine 2600.[4][5][6] It is a variation of fishing and refers to the use of lures to "fish" for sensitive information.[5][7][8]

Companies have also joined the effort to crack down on phishing. On March 31, 2005, Microsoft filed 117 federal lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The lawsuits accuse "John Doe" defendants of obtaining passwords and confidential information. March 2005 also saw a partnership between Microsoft and the Australian government teaching law enforcement officials how to combat various cyber crimes, including phishing.[193] Microsoft announced a planned further 100 lawsuits outside the U.S. in March 2006,[194] followed by the commencement, as of November 2006, of 129 lawsuits mixing criminal and civil actions.[195] AOL reinforced its efforts against phishing[196] in early 2006 with three lawsuits[197] seeking a total of US$18 million under the 2005 amendments to the Virginia Computer Crimes Act,[198][199] and Earthlink has joined in by helping to identify six men subsequently charged with phishing fraud in Connecticut.[200] 2ff7e9595c
