Understanding Phishing Threats

Phishing involves masquerading as a trustworthy entity to steal sensitive information like usernames, passwords, and credit card details. It is typically done through email or instant messaging. The damage from phishing can range from lost access to accounts to substantial financial loss if a victim's details are used illegally. Phishing methods evolve and may involve misleading emails appearing to come from banks or other organizations asking for personal data to be entered on fake websites. An example email aims to trick the recipient into revealing information by requesting confirmation on the phisher's website rather than the actual organization's site.
