to get sensitive information, such as a password or code stolen. Which leads to hacking an account of some sort.
when you get phished you have been hacked by someone who has gotten your password or code. Such as on e-mail, myspace, facebook, etc...

Get the phish mug.
The act of setting up a fake store front that looks like the real one to trick people; usually to steal their personal information.

The word was named after Brien Phish who set up a credit card scam in the 1980s over the phone by pretending to be from the credit card company.
This is a clever phish attempt by a couple of hooligans.

A band that people with little musical taste and smaller minds try to convince themselves is awful because they have no concept of what music could or should be. These simple minded fools should learn about music (chord structure, accidentals, time signatures, scales, etc.) and then they would understand Phish's brilliance. Too bad these morons waste their time listening to crappy metal bands that can only pound power chords with tons of distortion, beat the shit out of crash cymbals, and scream like they are on the receiving end of a colonoscopy, which they probably enjoy.
Phan1: Phish is probably the best band in the world. The musical composition of their works is incredibly complex and technically difficult. Their concerts are amazing and never the same, because they are proficient enough on their instruments to be able to improvise. Their songs are amazing and never the same, because they can remember more than four chords without having to get a tutor. But don't worry buddy, just because you can't understand the lyrics, it doesn't matter. When you get past fourth grade, I'm sure you'll start to understand what they mean.

Metal Man1: Hey man, there are lots of 26 year olds in fourth grade. You got any Marlboros?

A band that preaches love and happiness rather than hating your parents and fuckin' bitches. Kind of like Jesus.

Get the phish mug.
The imitation of a company or person to get somebody else's money; a hacker term.
Phishing is one of the easiest ways of hacking if you are good at social engineering.

1: a. The name of Trey, Mike, Page, and Jon’s best band (Derived from drummer "Jon Fishman") b. An entity that redefined and livened music during a period of musical depression c. A band that was real, a band that made mistakes in front of thousands of people because they already knew what they were doing, but also didn’t know what was going to happen next, which is not only beyond brave, but is also a vital part of the process of being innovative and original and alive
2: A web term that wasn't very original
Phish played for fun and their fans, and only their fans made them so succesful.

Phish created phans that created Phish.
