One of the most prevalent and frequent cyber assault methods is phishing. It is a form of social engineering attack that uses psychological deception and takes advantage of people’s weaknesses.
A phishing attack takes place when a criminal actor assumes the identity of a trustworthy organization or company in order to trick individuals and obtain their personal data, including usernames, passwords, and credit card information.
The majority of phishing attempts are carried out using phony emails that are created specifically to persuade the victim to visit a bogus website. Phishing emails typically ask the recipient to confirm or reset their credit card details and direct them to a bogus website that closely resembles the real one. Clone phishing and spear phishing are the two main varieties of phishing.
