Phishing is a type of cyber attack where criminals try to trick people into giving away personal information, such as passwords, bank details, or login credentials.
In simple terms, it usually involves fake emails, messages, or websites that look genuine in order to steal sensitive information.
For example, you might receive an email that appears to be from your bank asking you to click a link and confirm your account details, but the website is fake and designed to capture your information.
You might have received a text message claiming there is a problem with a delivery and asking you to click a link. If the message is fraudulent, clicking the link could lead to a fake website that tries to steal your details.
