Content: The message is made to look as though it comes from a trusted sender. If it fools the victim, he or she is coaxed into providing confidential information--often on a scam website. Sometimes malware is also downloaded onto the target's computer. Cybercriminals start by identifying a group of individuals they want to target. Then they create email and text messages that appear to be legitimate but actually contain dangerous links, attachments, or lures that trick their targets into taking an unknown, risky action. In brief: Phishers frequently use emotions like fear, curiosity, urgency, and greed to compel recipients to open attachments or click on links. Phishing attacks are designed to appear to come from legitimate companies and individuals. Cybercriminals are continuously innovating and becoming more and more sophisticated. It only takes one successful phishing attack to compromise your network and steal your data, which is why it is always important to Think Before You Click.
