A fraudulent effort to obtain some of the sensitive information from a person by disguising oneself as a reliable body in an electronic transmission is known as Phishing. The sensitive information may include the usernames passwords and details about the credit card. Phishing generally takes place through instant messaging or email spoofing.

In this process, the user is asked to enter personal and sensitive information to the link they get through the message or an email. The website looks and feels similar and legitimate to the authenticated website, which results in the fraud with the user.
