WHAT IS PHISHING
 Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data,
including login credentials and credit card numbers.
 It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into
opening an email, instant message, or text message.
 The information is then used to access important accounts and can result in
identity theft and financial loss.
 Phishing messages manipulate a user, causing them to perform actions like installing a
malicious file, clicking a malicious link, or divulging sensitive information such as access
credentials
TYPES OF PHISHING
 Email Phishing
 Spear Phishing
 Whaling

How Does Phishing Happen?

 Phishing happens when an unsuspecting victim responds to fraudulent requests

that demand action. This action can include downloading an attachment, clicking a
link, filling out a form, updating a password, calling a phone number or using a new
wi-fi hot spot. A crucial aspect of successful security awareness training is in
educating people about how easy it is to be tricked into giving up confidential
information.
How To Manage  Such Phishing Attacks?

  Incorporate cyber security awareness campaigns, training, support and education

into your corporate culture.
 Don’t give your information to an unsecured site
  Get free anti-phishing add-ons

technologies, and improvements in security technology has the potential to drastically
reduce the prevalence of phishing and the losses suffered from it.
