ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question
Which social engineering technique typically sends deceptive emails that impersonate a trusted organization to persuade users to reveal their login credentials?
Phishing is an email-based social engineering attack in which the attacker poses as a legitimate entity and lures recipients into disclosing sensitive information or clicking malicious links. Vishing relies on telephone calls, baiting uses enticing physical or digital media, and tailgating involves an intruder physically following someone into a restricted area; none of these primarily use fraudulent email messages.
