What is Phishing?

Introduction

One of the most common forms of social engineering is phishing. This specialized attack has been in use for decades and has been the downfall of many businesses and companies. They are difficult to distinguish and can cause a lot of problems if employees aren’t expecting it. A powerful defense against this attack is security awareness, but there are plenty of other things that can be done as well.

Phishing is one of the leading causes of successful cyberattacks across the world. Using information that is found across the Internet, bad actors can impersonate a coworker, a friend, or even a loved one in order to get you to click a link that may link to a malicious website. At that point, there’s a possibility of your device or network being hacked.
