Preferred term

phishing  

Definition

  • Phishing is a form of social engineering (a general term that describes gaining advantage through the use of deceptive manipulation) in which a victim is contacted by a person or group masquerading as a legitimate entity to obtain personal information. Victims are typically contacted via electronic communication by an assumed trustworthy or known source and lured into disclosing personal information directly or by clicking a link that redirects users to bogus sites that captures information or installs malicious software.
