Which type of social engineering attack involves tricking an individual into revealing sensitive information by pretending to be a trusted entity through electronic communication?
Phishing is a social engineering attack where attackers masquerade as a trustworthy entity to acquire sensitive information, such as login credentials or credit card details, through email, phone, or messaging services. Unlike vishing, which is voice-based, and tailgating, which is physical, phishing relies on digital communication.
