Phishing is a type of cyber attack where a perpetrator masquerades as a reputable individual or organization in order to trick people into providing sensitive information such as personal information, passwords, or credit card details. This information is then used for fraudulent purposes, such as identity theft or financial gain. Phishing attacks are typically carried out through deceptive emails, messages, or websites that appear to be legitimate, but are designed to steal information from unsuspecting victims. It is important to be cautious and vigilant when receiving unsolicited messages or requests for sensitive information, and to verify the legitimacy of any communication before providing any personal information.
