designed to lure a victim.

TYPES OF PHISHING ATTACKS
1.Email Phishing:
Attackers typically register fake domain names that mimic real organizations
and send thousands of common requests to victims.
For fake domains, attackers may add or replace characters (e.g.
my-bank.com instead of mybank.com), use subdomains (e.g.
mybank.host.com) or use the trusted organization’s name as the email
username (e.g. mybank@host.com)
Email phishing messages have one of the following goals:
• Causing the user to click a link to a malicious website, in order to install
malware on their device.
• Causing the user to download an infected file and using it to deploy
malware
• Causing the user to click a link to a fake website and submit personal data.
• Causing the user to reply and provide personal data.
