Exam CFR-310 topic 1 question 30 discussion

D. Phishing Explanation: Phishing is a type of attack where an attacker impersonates a legitimate entity (in this case, a bank) to trick the victim into revealing sensitive information, such as login credentials, by redirecting them to a fake website. Why the other answers are incorrect: A. Whaling: A form of phishing that specifically targets high-profile individuals, such as executives or other high-level targets. This scenario doesn't specify a high-profile target. B. Smishing: Involves phishing attacks via SMS/text messages. Since this attack occurs through email, it is not smishing. C. Vishing: Involves phishing via voice calls. This scenario involves email and a web page, not voice communication.
