Vishing Attack
Vishing attack is a form of phishing attack that is carried out through a phone call. The attacker uses social engineering techniques to gain access to sensitive information such as financial details and passwords. They often pretend to be a legitimate company or organization and use tactics such as urgency or fear to prompt their victims into sharing their information.
These attacks can be difficult to detect as the caller ID may also appear to be from a legitimate source. It is important to remember that legitimate companies will never ask for sensitive information such as passwords or credit card details over the phone.
To protect yourself from vishing attacks, it is important to be cautious when receiving phone calls from unknown numbers. If you receive a suspicious call, do not share any personal information and instead, end the call and contact the organization directly using their official contact information.
