Phishing

Phishing is a type of social engineering where an attacker sends a fraudulent ("spoofed") message designed to trick a human victim into revealing sensitive information to the attacker or to deploy malicious software on the victim's infrastructure like ransomware. It is a cyber-attack where attackers deceive individuals into revealing sensitive information through fake emails or websites. The goal is to gain unauthorized access to personal data or financial details for malicious purposes.
