Phishing

This is a type of attack that uses email communication to obtain sensitive user data. Its name is a corruption of the English word "fishing". The attacker throws bait to his victim and waits to see if the victim takes the bait. The most common types of phishing messages are a call to update security data, a problem with the user account, email box, information about a failed payment, bank account or customer satisfaction survey. Attackers most typically target emotions such as fear, trust, authority. The messages usually require a username and password or encourage you to log in to a fake website.
