Phishing attacks are often launched on a massive scale, employing deceptive tactics to manipulate victims into opening malicious attachments or clicking on harmful links.

Spear Phishing

A form of phishing targeting individuals, designed to appear if from a trusted person or organization.

Smishing

A phishing attack conducted using text messaging, often containing links to scam websites.

Vishing

A phishing attack conducted through a phone call, where the criminal often pretends to represent a trusted organization.

Survey Scams

Survey scams mislead victims into thinking they will receive a high-value reward or prize for providing their feedback.

Whaling

Targeted phishing attacks aimed at senior executives who may have access to finances, assets, or highly sensitive information.
