In the past few years, phishing has developed into a global danger that comes in many different shapes and sizes. When attackers mix phishing techniques with additional attack approaches, they create a unique sort of phishing attack. This “pseudo-phishing” has become more sophisticated in recent years, and it is now targeting a larger audience. This chapter will go through many forms of phishing assaults, such as social engineering-based phishing, DNS-based phishing, and content injection phishing and others. Every phishing assault has a different method of identifying victims, but the goal is the same in every case. As much as companies try, phishing attempts are often successful because they target the weakest links in an organization, which are its employees. According to KnowBe4, phishing is the primary method behind 90 percent of cyberattacks, hacks, and data breaches.
