Phishing

Definition

Phishing is a social engineering attack where adversaries impersonate trusted entities to trick users into revealing credentials, installing malware, or authorizing fraudulent transactions. Spear phishing targets specific individuals with personalized content, while whaling targets executives.

Technical mitigations include email authentication (DMARC, SPF, DKIM), anti-phishing browser protections, MFA, and security awareness training.
