A phishing email is a fraudulent message that looks like it’s from a trusted source – such as a bank, well-known company, or even a coworker – but is actually from a cybercriminal trying to trick you.
The goal of a phishing email is usually to:
-
Steal sensitive information, like passwords, credit card numbers, or Social Security numbers.
-
Get you to click a malicious link or download an infected attachment.
-
Gain access to your computer or network.
