Phishing is a type of social engineering attack used to steal user information, including personal data and login credentials. Such attacks are typically initiated with an email, instant message, or text message sent by the attacker. The recipient is then usually tricked into clicking a malicious link, which can lead to an exposure of sensitive information or the installation of malware such as ransomware.
