Phishing attack vector

A phishing attack vector refers to the method hackers use to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card details. Typically, attackers send fake emails, messages, or website links that appear legitimate, mimicking trusted organizations. When someone unwittingly interacts with these, they might enter personal information, unknowingly giving cybercriminals access to their accounts or systems. It’s like a digital bait-and-switch—trusting the message or link and, in doing so, unintentionally opening the door for fraud or theft. Recognizing and being cautious of suspicious communications helps prevent these attacks.
