Cyber threat: Avoiding the phishing net

Phishing is a social engineering tactic to trick victims into giving away their sensitive information. It is one of the most popular fraudulent attempts used by hackers to steal data like usernames and passwords, financial details, corporate data, etc.

In fact, this cyber-attack vector has been making rounds since the mid-1990s, and today it has evolved to a sophisticated level. Cybercriminals are now targeting a large number of individuals and organisations to steal and misuse their data.
