What is Phishing?
Phishing is a widespread form of cyber fraud that aims to fraudulently obtain a user's bank card or other sensitive data.
A common form of phishing attack is sending fraudulent messages via email, social networks, or other communication platforms. This type of message often looks like information from a well-known source, such as a bank or any other organization you have a relationship with.
A phishing message is, in most cases, a message that urgently asks to go to an integrated link or open a file and then enter various sensitive data (password, username, card information, etc.).
