What is Phishing?
Phishing is a strategy employed by cybercriminals to pose as reliable entities, aiming to acquire sensitive data from diverse targets. It is a method of sending deceptive messaging which originates from a seemingly reliable source. It is mainly performed via email, media platforms, or fake websites. Phishing messages deceive users into attempting to install a malicious file, simply clicking on a harmful link, or revealing sensitive information such as login credentials. Phishing is a form of social engineering, a set of techniques scammers use to exploit human thinking. Falsification, confusion, and spreading lies are all social engineering techniques that can be used in phishing attacks. View More: How to Stop Phishing with Security Awareness?
