Phishing is a social engineering technique where attackers attempt to deceive individuals into divulging sensitive information, such as login credentials, financial details, or personal data, by posing as a trustworthy entity. Phishing attacks often involve sending deceptive emails, text messages, or instant messages that mimic legitimate organizations or individuals. The goal is to trick the recipient into clicking on malicious links, opening infected attachments, or providing sensitive information, which can be used for identity theft, financial fraud, or further targeted attacks.
