What is Phishing Attacks?

Phishing Attacks
Phishing involves sending an e-mail, usually posing as a bank, credit-card company, or other
financial organization. The e-mail requests that the recipient confirm banking information or
reset passwords or PIN numbers. The user clicks the link in the e-mail and is redirected to a
fake website. The hacker is then able to capture this information and use it for financial gain
or to perpetrate other attacks. E-mails that claim the senders have a great amount of money
but need your help getting it out of the country are examples of phishing attacks
