Abstract
Phishing is a mendacious attempt for gathering the sensitive information like debit MasterCard , net banking other secure details, user names and passwords. A standard approach in phishing is through the transmission of messages and email communication with an embedded hyperlink. The detection and mitigation of phishing attacks are a big challenge because of the complexity of current phishing attacks. Existing techniques are often too much time consuming to be applied in the real world in terms of detection and mitigation approach. Phishing is becoming more malicious during covid-19 lockdown and its detection and awareness is extremely important. Objective of this paper is to develop more security and protection requires by both users and enterprises towards the safe services. We discuss types of phishing, phishing impact during the covid-19 lockdown and methods to teach and train users against phishing.
