Phishing.<\/p>\n<p>Phishing is a type of social engineering attack where an attacker attempts to trick a victim into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, or other personal information. Phishing attacks are often carried out through email, but can also be done through social media, phone calls, or text messages.<\/p>\n<p>In a phishing attack, the attacker will send a message that appears to be from a legitimate company, such as a bank or credit card company.
