Phishing
Is a form of cyber-attack where attackers disguise themselves as trusted entities—such as banks, social media platforms, or government agencies—to steal sensitive information. Victims receive fake emails, texts, or links directing them to malicious websites, tricking them into revealing passwords, credit card details, or personal information.
How Phishing Works
Phishing attacks often start with deceptive emails, where attackers pose as trusted organizations—like banks or government agencies—urging recipients to click on malicious links. These emails may look authentic but are designed to capture sensitive data.
Once a victim clicks the link, they may be redirected to fake websites that mimic legitimate sites, such as online banking portals or social media platforms. These websites are engineered to steal passwords, credit card details, and other personal information.
At MPCTech, we offer email filtering and network security solutions to block phishing attempts before they reach your inbox.
Common Phishing Techniques
Real-World Examples
- Spear Phishing: These are highly targeted attacks where the attacker uses personal information to appear more credible. By focusing on specific individuals or organizations, spear phishing increases the likelihood of success by manipulating trust.
- Banking Phishing: Attackers send fraudulent emails, pretending to be from your bank, asking for account updates or login details.
- Clone Phishing: In this method, attackers replicate legitimate emails but replace links or attachments with malicious versions. This can trick recipients into unknowingly providing sensitive data.
- Streaming Services: Scammers mimic popular platforms like Netflix or Spotify, claiming issues with subscriptions to steal payment details.
