The Ultimate Guide to Phishing
2024 edition
Overview

Generally associated with unsolicited emails sent by a hacker to a wide range of targets, phishing is a ‘bait and switch’ tactic designed to trick targets into revealing personal information such as passwords or credit card details.

Phishing is a form of social engineering.
