What is a phishing email?

A phishing email is a targeted and sophisticated email that looks authentic and attempts to trick the recipient into clicking a link to a webpage or opening a malicious attachment.

Links to webpages could install malware on the person’s computer or deceive them into entering their username and password. (This has happened to users of Google, Microsoft Office & Netflix)

On opening a malicious attachment malware is usually installed on the recipient’s computer and spread to the network.

Phishing emails remain the easiest way for cyber criminals to gain access to private networks in order to steal money, download data and disrupt operations.

What is a cyber attack?

  2. for destroying the integrity of the data, or
  3. stealing information.
What is malware?
