What is phishing email?

Phishing email is crafted to deceive recipients into revealing sensitive information or accessing malicious sites. It often mimics trusted brands with forged addresses or fake pages.

A more targeted and dangerous form is spear phishing, which focuses on a specific individual using personalized details gathered from public sources. Phishing is the most dangerous vessel on the water. Its sails are painted to resemble friendly ships, yet its purpose is to board and loot unsuspecting travelers.
