Phishing

Phishing is a form of cyber attack where scammers create fake websites or emails that appear to be from reputable companies in order to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, credit card details, and personal identity information from unsuspecting individuals. Phishing attacks can be carried out through email, social media, text messages, or phone calls. The ultimate goal of phishing is to steal valuable information that can be used for fraudulent purposes or to gain access to a victim's accounts or computer systems. Phishing attacks are often successful because the scammers use social engineering techniques to create credible-looking messages or spoofed websites that trick the victim into providing sensitive information. Phishing is a common technique used by cybercriminals to gain illicit access to personal or corporate data, and can be very damaging to individuals and businesses if not properly addressed.
