WHAT IS PHISHING ??
Phishing is one of the online method to steal login & password of victim using fake facebook page. In this technic a hacker creates a fake html page which looks like a original facebook page.

or
Free recharge using facebook.

and send this link to your email id or mobile number from unknown id, he can also send this links via status on facebook
Now when you click on that link, you see a simple facebook login page but it is not real facebook , it is fake page created by that hacker.
So when

and he changes your password and recovery options.

 No one can escape from this hacking untill he or she does not know about this.
So only limitation of this hack is that the url of fake facebook page will be different from original one.

so always check the url from address bar before login.
