Of course, phishing is a small technique used by hackers. But, Google says something about this...
According to new Google study, the most successful phishing websites will capture data from 45-percent of its visitors. The least successful scams only scored information from 3 percent of its visitors, but when crooks are sending out phishing emails by the millions, that still adds up.
The study found that the majority of the hackers operate out of china, the ivory coast, Malaysia, nigiria and south Africa, and that they work quick : 20-percent of accounts were compromised within 30 minutes of having information phished.

Most hacked accounts are used to continue the cycle : sending emails to account's contacts asking for bank transfers or simply distributing links that might capture yet more accounts.
The best way to protect yourself, Google says that these are old ways: enable 2- step verification on your accounts when possible and " stay vigilant " - report messages asking for personal information to and never, even reply to them.
So, Please guys.. Change your account passwords as strong as you can. It is not only for your safety. It is for your country. So, don't respond to fake emails.
