Phishing

Phishing is made up of the English words "password harvesting" and "fishing." Here, too, the ignorance and trustfulness of employees is exploited. Attackers see people as an entry point for attacks against private individuals, authorities, institutions, and companies. Employees mistakenly think they are communicating with trusted sources via email or fake websites. The goal of the social engineering type of phishing is to access the data and information of the victims or install malicious software.
