Best Practices to Mitigate the Impact of Phishing
Understanding Phishing Phishing is a form of social engineering where cybercriminals aim to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information or downloading malware. This type of attack typically involves sending an email that appears to come from a legitimate, trusted source. The email often contains a brief message followed by a link or attachment. Clicking the link usually redirects the victim to a fake login page that requests their credentials, while attachments may contain malware. Cybercriminals seek information such as login credentials, bank account details, and credit card information to commit identity theft and financial fraud.
