Isn't a phishing attach defined as an attempt to trick someone into
giving up their password by sending an e-mail with a crafted link? If
so, then always logging in to your gmail, hotmail, yahoo, et al
accounts by first typing the URL in the address bar should protect you
against such an attack.

Or is this a new type of phishing? If so, please share the details ;)
