Phishing is when criminals pose as legitimate people or institutions to trick you into giving them sensitive material such as banking, credit card and password information.

SPEAR PHISHING

A type of phishing attack aimed at specific individuals or companies. These phishing scams use personalized information to lull victims into a false sense of security, convincing them to share their data.

EVIL TWIN PHISHING

WHALING

Whale phishing are attacks that target senior executives such as CEOs, CFOs and COOs.

ANGLER PHISHING

This scam targets victims through social media, cloned websites and even fake private messages. In angler phishing, a scammer finds their targets through social media by looking for people who post public complaints about a well-known company, such as a bank or an online retailer. The attacker will impersonate a customer service account from that company to trick the complainer into giving the hacker access to their personal data or account credentials.
