Phishing Scams

What is a Phishing Scam?

Phishing is a type of cyberattack that aims to trick people into providing their personal information or money. Phishing scams usually involve sending emails or messages that look like they come from legitimate sources, such as banks, online services, or government agencies. The messages often ask the recipients to click on a link, open an attachment, or provide sensitive details, such as passwords, account numbers, or security codes. However, the link or attachment may lead to a fake website or download malicious software, and the information provided may be used to steal the victim’s identity, money, or data.

Phishing scams are very common and can affect anyone who uses the internet. According to a report by the FBI, phishing was the most common type of cybercrime in 2020, with more than 240,000 complaints and over $54 million in losses. Phishing scams can also cause reputational damage, legal liability, and loss of trust for businesses and organizations that are impersonated by the attackers.
