The correct answer is vishing, which is voice-based phishing. Vishing attackers use phone calls to impersonate trusted entities and trick individuals into disclosing sensitive information like passwords or financial details. Phishing typically occurs through emails, smishing uses SMS text messages, and tailgating is a physical security breach where someone follows an authorized person into a restricted area.
