The term ‘phishing’ in cybersecurity refers to a malicious attempt to deceive individuals into providing sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, or credit card numbers. Phishing attacks typically involve fraudulent emails, messages, or websites that masquerade as trustworthy entities, tricking victims into clicking on links or disclosing personal information. These attacks can result in significant financial loss and identity theft. To combat phishing, organizations implement security awareness training, email filtering tools, and multi-factor authentication to enhance protection against such threats.
