Have you ever wondered why phishing is spelled “phishing”? Well, we’ll tell you anyway, apparently the “ph” came about because there was an earlier word, “phreaking”. Obvious really. And phreaking? That involves the fraudulent use of an electronic device to avoid paying for telephone calls, it’s probably a shortened version of “phone freak’. Who knew?
