Phishing
A phishing attack’s primary goal is to get you to reveal your sensitive data. To facilitate this, cybercriminals make fake emails or websites; this is called spoofing.
Since the fake emails and websites look so real, victims try to either click on malicious links or log in. Their login credentials are sent to the scammers, who use the information to potentially access accounts on other sites. They can also receive credit card numbers and bank account information.
