@bridges_5o: A phishing attack is a type of cyberattack where someone pretends to be a trusted entity (like a bank, company, or even a friend) to trick you into giving away sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, or personal data. Here’s how it typically works: * You receive a message (email, SMS, or social media) that looks legitimate * It creates urgency (e.g., “Your account will be locked!”) * It asks you to click a link or download something * The link leads to a fake website that looks real * You enter your details → attacker steals them Common types of phishing: * Email phishing: Fake emails from banks, PayPal, etc. * Spear phishing: Targeted attacks using personal info * Smishing: Phishing via SMS * Vishing: Phone call scams #phishing #email #cybersecurity #cybersecurityawareness #pctips
