What is phishing attack?
A phishing attack is a type of cyberattack in which the attacker attempts to trick the victim into providing sensitive information such as login credentials, credit card numbers, or other personal information by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. These communications often take the form of emails or text messages that appear to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank or online retailer. Once the victim provides the information, the attacker can use it for fraudulent activities or to gain unauthorized access to the victim's accounts.
