Phishing: The Art of Deception

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack that uses fraudulent emails to trick users into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card numbers. Phishing attacks are one of the most common types of cyberattacks, and they can be very effective. In a phishing attack, the attacker will send an email that appears to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank or a credit card company. The email will typically contain a link or attachment that, if clicked on, will install malware on the user’s computer or redirect the user to a malicious website.
