Abstract

The high growth of internet has changed the way many social and economic activities are carried out and organizations are now able to provide their services worldwide using e-commerce and digital mediums. Nonetheless, this development has also predisposed users to cyber threats especially phishing which tricks people into disclosing sensitive information by masquerading as genuine websites. Examples of such attacks include financial loss, manipulation of data, damaged reputation and less trust in online services. This paper provides a detailed overview of phishing activities, their causes, effects, prevention methods, and the present threat. It further emphasizes the need to have strong cybersecurity laboratories to examine the emerging attacks and enhance defense mechanisms. Furthermore, demonstrate the importance of high-tech research settings in the detection, prevention, and comprehension of threats in the form of phishing and malware.
