Phishing is a fraudulent attempt by cyber criminals to collect sensitive information online by pretending to be a trustworthy website.
A phishing attack can happen through an email that looks legitimate and it will encourage you to click on a seemingly innocent URL that will instead lead you to a fake website. It will often require you to fill-in personal details such as BTC address, USDT address, passwords, usernames, or other sensitive information. It can compromise your privacy and could ultimately lead to identity theft.
