Question

What is Phishing?

Short Note

Solution

  1. Phishing scams are fraudulent attempts by cyber criminals to obtain private information.
  2. Phishing scams often appear in the guise of email messages designed to appear as though they are from legitimate sources.
  3. For example, the message would try to lure us into giving our personal information by pretending that our bank or email service provider is updating its website and that we must click on the link in the email to verify our account information and password details.
