Phishing attacks focus on stealing the target’s sensitive information. If you’re always on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, etc., you’re a potential target for these threat actors. Some of the ways phishing works include phone calls, emails promising big wins, or warnings about account closure. If the target believes and panics, they’ll obey the cybercriminal’s instructions and compromise their security.
