Phishing attacks pose a significant threat to online security, with attackers employing various tactics to trick users into divulging sensitive information or downloading malicious files. Phishing attacks can manifest in different forms, such as deceptive emails, fraudulent websites, malicious ads, or social media links. These attacks can appear genuine, often mimicking well-known and trusted entities like banks, colleagues, or IT departments. Spear-phishing takes this deception a step further, tailoring attacks to individuals by leveraging personal information.
