What is phishing attack?

Phishing attacks are the practice of sending fraudulent communications that appear to come from a reputable source. It
is usually done through email. The goal is to steal sensitive data like credit card and login information, or to install
malware on the victim's machine.

From the root word FRAUD itself, as per dictionary meaning from Oxford dictionary, “wrongful or criminal deception
intended to result in financial or personal gain”

FRAUDULENT - obtained, done by, or involving deception, especially criminal deception or unjustifiably claiming or being
credited with particular accomplishments or qualities.

Ang phishing attacks po ay isang uri ng panggagancho sa kapwa sa pamamagitan ng internet, maaari mang ito ay in a
form of bank transfers through zip coded files, panloloko na kunyari halimbawa nanalo ka daw ng iPhone 13 promax
pindutin lang daw ang link para ikaw ay maguide sa iyong gagawin upang i-claim ang prize, pero sa totoo lang pwede
na nitong ma hack anf iyong personal files through that simple click for you allowed them to get into your system.

Pamilyar ba kayo sa “I Love You” virus? Simple lang ang ginawa ng maker, gumawa lang siya ng zip coded file na
tinatawag na worm o isang computer malware. Dahil sa file name, sino ng aba naman ang hindi maiintrigang buksan
ito? Dahil dito, ito ay kumalat sa buong mundo. Ayon sa mga nakatangggap nito, hindi na daw nila naibalik pa ang mga
files na dati ay laman ng kani-kanilang mga computer. Ayon sa Techtarget” It spread so quickly that many major
enterprises like the Ford Motor Company, AT&T and Microsoft, as well as government organizations like the Pentagon,
CIA, U.S. Army, and parliaments in Denmark and the U.K., had to completely shut down their email services as they tried
to bring the virus under control and mitigate its damage.” ” In fact, this is exactly what happened on May 4, 2000. In just
about 10 days, ILOVEYOU reached an estimated 45 million users and caused about $10 billion in damages.” Alam niyo ba
kung sino ang gumawa non? Siya ay si Onel De Guzman, at siya ay isang Pilipino, siya ay naninirahan sakalakhan ng
lungsod ng Manila. Dahil ito ay naganap noong May 2000, ang kaso laban sa ganitong klaseng krimen ay hindi pa
nageexist.

CLAUSE 1, 2, AND 3:

TO DISCUSS ABOUT PHISHING ATTACKS USING MOBILE DEVICES; TO BRING AWARENESS ABOUT PHISHING ATTACKS,
AND POSSIBLE COUNTERMEASURES IN PHISHING ATTACKS USING MOBILE DEVICES.

SO THE REASON WHY I CHOSE TO EXPLAIN THESE 3 CLAUSES ALL AT ONCE, IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED
WITH EACH OTHER.

Sa panahon natin ngayon, bibihira na lang ang walang cellphone, kahit nga yung pamangkin ko na 2 years old
may sarili nang tablet pang cocomelon e, yung lolo at lola ko rin meron, pang facebook at pangnood kay Sir Raffy Tulfo.
(pero hindi namin iboboto si raffy ah). Sa madaling salita, walang pinipiling tao at edad ang pagkakaroon ng mobile
devices. Kung kaya’t nilalayon ng thesis na ito na maipaliwanag ang mga dapat malaman para maging aware sa kung ano
nga ba ang ibig sabihin ng phising attacks na ito, sa kung papaanong paraan natin ito maeencounter, at kung paano rin
natin ito maiiwasan.

SO THAT’S ABOUT IT, THANK YOU SIR.
