Phishing (from phishing, from password - password and fishing - fishing, fishing) is a kind of online fraud, the purpose of which is to acquire confidential user data (password, credit card number, PIN code, etc.). In the process of phishing scammers use mass mailings on behalf of popular brands (payment systems, banks, providers) to lure users to specially created fake sites - copies of real-life sites. Usually such letters come in the form of notifications about any events (data loss, system failures, etc.), in connection with which the user must provide, update or confirm certain confidential data.At the same time, the letter contains a link that leads not to the official page of the service, but to its exact copy.The information entered by the gullible user on the “fake” site falls into the hands of fraudsters.
