Email Phishing


Email Phishing may get an attacker your personal information like credentials, credit card information, registered mobile number, etc PII (Personal Identifiable Information) parameters.




How to perform Phishing via Email?

Step 1: Create an identical working website that is appearing quite similar to the official company website. This dummy website acts as a fake verified validation to the target to gain trust over. Ex. Gmail account login page, Facebook login page or any other website.
Step 2: An important part to ponder over is the URI or URL of the fake but working website that has to be changed minutely in such a way that the target person is not able to spot the changes easily in its link and fewer people are aware as well as concerned about this security threat. Ex. For 'gmail.com' one can modify it to 'gma1l.com' or for 'facebook.com' that can be modified to 'facebeok.com'. Users enter their details here on the fake login page without checking its original link in the Address bar.

Step 3: A backend database must be linked to the form on the dummy website's fake login webpage to record the User's credentials in the backend database.




Congratulations you are Hacked.!!!
