Phishing attacks primarily target
Answer: B
Phishing primarily targets user credentials and personal information.
Phishing is social engineering: fake emails, messages or websites imitate a trusted bank, company or colleague to trick the victim into revealing passwords, OTPs, card numbers or personal details, or into installing malware. It attacks the human user rather than a technical weakness.
DNS servers are the target of DNS spoofing or cache poisoning, which can redirect users to fake sites (pharming), a related but different attack. HTTP cookies are stolen in session hijacking. Hardware is not what phishing goes after.
