What is Phishing?

Phishing is an attack that aims to steal sensitive information by tricking individuals into revealing their personal data. This can include passwords, bank accounts, 2FA codes, private wallet keys, and other important information. Criminals use various techniques to carry out phishing attacks, such as:

  • Sending fake emails or text messages claiming to be from official sources

  • Creating fake websites

  • Developing counterfeit apps

  • Impersonating official staff on social media

  • Posting false event links on social media
