{{also|Phishing}}
==English==

===Etymology===
Respelling of {{m|en|fishing||trying to find}}. In [[Usenet]] newsgroups, cracker and pirate groups used variant spellings of ''phish'' and ''[[warez]]'' (i.e. ''wares'') to evade scans and filters by mainstream servers policing the [[ARPAnet]]/[[Internet]]. Compare other respelling slang like {{m|en|phat|}} and {{m|en|phreak|}}.
