Definition from
Webopedia:
The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user’s information.

网络钓鱼
Definition from
ITwiki:
网络钓鱼(Phishing)一词，是“Fishing”和“Phone”的综合体，是常见的网络诈欺行为。该词嫁接了fishing和phone，该词起源于1996年左右，黑客起初利用电子邮件作为诱饵，盗用美国在线的帐号和密码，后来鉴于最早的黑客是用电话线作案，所以黑客们常常用Ph来取代f，就形成了今天的Phishing一词。 <br /><br />“网络钓鱼”攻击利用欺骗性的电子邮件和伪造的Web站点来进行诈骗活动，受骗者往往会泄露自己的财务数据，如信用卡号、账户用户名、口令和社保编号等内容。诈骗者通常会将自己伪装成知名银行、在线零售商和信用卡公司等可信的品牌，在所有接触诈骗信息的用户中，有高达5%的人都会对这些骗局做出响应。

Discussion
Reflecting on this term, I would have to be for the translation "钓鱼式攻击" in Chinese. Because "网络钓鱼(literally means online/network fishing)" could be understood as "sth. about fishing on network ". Furthermore, there has been announcement about "是钓鱼式攻击" on Wiki. It's only for discussion and contribution to our glossary construction, nothing to do with points.
