Understanding and Preventing Phishing Attacks
Phishing is a type of cyberattack where hackers pretend to be trusted sources (like banks or apps) to steal sensitive information such as passwords, emails, or credit card details. It usually happens through fake emails, messages, or websites.
This project focuses on understanding phishing attacks, a common type of cybercrime where attackers trick people into giving personal information by pretending to be trustworthy sources. In the project, you study how these attacks work, examine examples of fake and real messages, and identify warning signs like suspicious links or urgent language. The goal is to raise awareness and teach people simple ways to protect themselves online, such as verifying senders and avoiding unknown links.
