Phishing is a cyberattack aimed at tricking individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords, typically through deceptive emails or websites. In the context of cybersecurity, phishing poses significant threats as it exploits human psychology and trust. Victims may inadvertently provide access to personal data or financial information, leading to data breaches or identity theft. Ongoing education and awareness are vital in combating phishing attacks and protecting sensitive information.
