Phishing
Fake messages designed to trick people into revealing information, sending money or granting access
What's it for?
Tricks people into revealing passwords, information or access through convincing fake messages or websites.
For example…
Staff receive an email that looks like IT asking them to reset passwords on a lookalike site; one person enters credentials before realising
An employee receives a convincing fake Microsoft login email and enters their password on the attacker's page — a phishing attack
Think of it like…
Con artist in a courier uniform asking you to sign for a parcel that is not yours
