Specifically, they masquerade as a trusted third party to coax their victims into revealing confidential information.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method is commonly employed <\/span><b>through the sending of an email<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At first glimpse, this email seems to originate from a well-known organization or person. It could be the recipient&#8217;s bank, a courier service, a service provider, or even occasionally the company&#8217;s top executive (using the &#8220;CEO fraud&#8221; method).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s the logo, the name, the email address&#8230; everything is constructed to engender trust. Yet, this act of identity theft is merely a facade.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the ultimate aim is rather straightforward: to gather personal and confidential information. For instance, a &#8220;bank&#8221; might request a user&#8217;s banking details, or a company manager might solicit login credentials from their employees&#8230; Such personal information should never be shared via email.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apart from data collection, the phishing email may also contain a link to click on. For instance, to track a parcel, to review account status, to access a video&#8230; With a single click, the phishing scheme is set into motion. It enables cybercriminals to penetrate the system, distributing their <a href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/all-about-malware\">malware<\/a> and inflicting damage.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides emails, cybercriminals can also deploy this tactic through counterfeit websites, fraudulent mobile apps, or even phone calls.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-edfa4de elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"edfa4de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.15.0 - 02-08-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/files\/2024\/05\/phishing_datascientest-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-185511\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/files\/2024\/05\/phishing_datascientest-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/files\/2024\/05\/phishing_datascientest-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-74517ca elementor-align-center button-principal elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"74517ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/data-courses\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Discover our courses<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f343c1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"6f343c1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50d5251 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"50d5251\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to defend against phishing?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93f403f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"93f403f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For 74% of companies that have fallen victim to a cyberattack, phishing represents the gateway for malicious hackers.
