Abstract

Now a day there is a lot of data security issues. Hackers are now very much expert in using their knowledge for hack into someone else’s system and grab the information. Phishing is one such type of methodologies which are used to acquire the information. Phishing is a cyber crime in which emails, telephone, text messages, personally identifiable information, banking details, credit card details, password is been targeted. Phishing is mainly a form of online identify theft. Social Engineering is being used by the phisher to steal victim’s personal data and the account details. This research paper gives a fair idea of phishing attack, the types of phishing attack through which the attacks are performed, detection and prevention towards it.
