What is Phishing?
๐ฃ Phishing is a criminal act performed by cybercriminals where they request personal information and their victims voluntarily give it to them.
๐ฅ One of the characteristics of phishing attacks is that the victims believe they are communicating with a trusted source.
๐ โโ๏ธ During the interactions with the cybercriminals, victims provide personal information, such as names, addresses, banking and credit card details, user names and passwords; and social security numbers.
๐ธ That is everything you need to request a credit card or open a bank account online!
๐ฆนโโ๏ธ Identity theft is one of the most common consequences of phishing attacks.
