How Does Phishing Work?
Phishing is a type of social engineering attack where cybercriminals impersonate legitimate organizations to trick individuals into revealing personal information. This is commonly done through deceptive emails, fake websites, or malicious messages.
Phishing attacks typically involve:
- A fake email or message that appears to come from a trusted source.
- A fraudulent link leading to a fake website that looks identical to a real one.
- A request to enter login credentials, credit card details, or other sensitive data.
