And where are we going with OS X security in 2013? 2012 was an "exciting" year for OS X security—at least if you're a security expert or researcher. There were plenty of events to keep people on their toes. Although Apple took some egg on the face for some of them, overall, the company came out ahead when it came down to keeping users safe. At least that's the opinion of some security researchers who followed OS X developments throughout the year. A MUST READ!!!

What happens once your identity gets stolen? How exactly does a phisher benefit from gaining access to your sensitive information? What can he do?
Of course it depends on the information stolen, and the goal of the hacker, as to what can be done with sensitive information. The first thing to clarify is that there are two types of phishing attacks – consumer oriented phishing attacks and enterprise oriented phishing attacks.
