Credential phishing is a cyberattack technique where attackers impersonate trusted entities, such as banks or popular websites, to trick users into revealing their login credentials. Typically, victims receive emails, messages, or links that direct them to fake websites designed to look legitimate. Unsuspecting users may then enter usernames, passwords, or other sensitive information, which is captured by the attacker. These stolen credentials can be used for unauthorized access, identity theft, or further cyberattacks. Credential phishing is one of the most common and effective social engineering tactics, making user awareness and robust security measures essential for prevention.
