What is a Phishing Attack?
Phishing is a criminal tactic designed to reel people in to reveal sensitive information or take some kind of action. It often takes the form of an email that’s asking for too much… like, ‘click this link I swear it’s safe!’ or ‘download this attachment and run the executable!’ or ‘I’m a nigerian prince and I have too much money, I have to give you some!’
