What is Phishing Attack
Phishing is a type of cyber attack in which an attacker attempts to trick a victim into providing sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial information, through a fake or malicious website. Phishing attacks are often carried out by sending emails that appear to be from a legitimate source, such as a financial institution or a trusted online retailer. The email will typically contain a link to a website that looks genuine but is actually controlled by the attacker. When the victim enters their sensitive information on the fake website, the attacker can then use it to gain access to their accounts or commit fraud.
