Phishing attacks are a type of cybercrime where attackers impersonate legitimate organizations to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card numbers. These attacks often occur through emails, messages, or fake websites that look similar to those of trusted entities like banks or social media platforms. The goal of phishing is to deceive victims into clicking on malicious links or providing personal data. Once attackers obtain this information, they can misuse it for identity theft, financial fraud, or other malicious activities, posing significant risks to individuals and organizations alike.
