Computer Phishing?

What is phishing?

Phishing is a cunning cybercrime tactic where malicious actors try to deceive individuals into divulging sensitive information under false pretences. Imagine the classic movie "Home Alone," where a crafty 'police officer' paid a visit to the McCallister family. Despite being a burglar, his convincing impersonation of a real law enforcement officer led the unsuspecting family to willingly share details about their whereabouts and travel plans. Similarly, cybercriminals, commonly referred to as 'phishers,' employ various online channels like email, messenger platforms, or phone calls to dupe unsuspecting victims into sharing their confidential data.
