Hello Brala.
Your Ans.
✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️

Phishing, other than being a great word for fish-based puns, is basically any attempt to trick people over an email, text messages, phone calls or a fake website. The goal can be anything from trying to get people to send you money, hand over sensitive information, or even just download malware unwittingly, and the authors of these attacks will use lies, trickery, forgery, and outright manipulation in order to see them succeed. Because of this, phishing is what we call Social Engineering: a kind of attack that relies on human fallibility rather than a hardware or software flaw in order to work.

Phishing is a form of fraud in which an attacker masquerades as a reputable entity or person in email or other communication channels. The attacker uses phishing emails to distribute malicious links or attachments that can perform a variety of functions, including the extraction of login credentials or account information from victims.

Phishing is popular with cybercriminals, as it is far easier to trick someone into clicking a malicious link in a seemingly legitimate phishing email than trying to break through a computer's defenses.
