The type of attack that compromises account credentials is known as a phishing attack. In this method, attackers deceive users into providing sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords, through fraudulent communications that appear legitimate. Phishing can occur via emails, messages, or websites designed to mimic trusted sources. With the acquired credentials, attackers can gain unauthorized access to accounts, leading to data breaches, identity theft, and financial loss. Raising awareness and employing security measures are critical in combating such attacks.
