Phishing ......

Phishing is a cyber attack where criminals pretend to be trustworthy organizations (like banks, social media platforms, or companies) to trick people into giving sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or credit card details. They usually use emails, text messages, or fake websites that look real to deceive users.
Common Types with Examples

Email Phishing

You receive an email that looks like it is from your bank saying:
“Your account has been suspended. Click here to verify your details.”
The link takes you to a fake website where your information is stolen.

SMS Phishing (Smishing)

A message says:
“You have won a prize! Click this link to claim now.”
When you click the link, it may ask for personal details or install harmful software.
Website Phishing
You visit a website that looks exactly like a real site (like Facebook or a bank).
When you enter your username and password, attackers capture your login details.


Spear Phishing

A targeted attack where a scammer sends a message using your name or school/company details, making it look more real.
Example: “Hi John, your school account needs updating. Click here.”
Summary..
Phishing works by tricking people, not computers. So being careful and thinking before clicking is the best protection.
