What does "Phishing" refer to in the context of cyber security ?

  • A.A form of hacking
  • B.A technique used to deceive people into revealing personal information
  • C.A process of protecting data with encryption
  • D.A type of software firewall

Answer: B

Phishing is a technique used to deceive people into revealing personal information.

Phishing uses fake emails, messages or websites that look as if they come from a bank or another trusted source, to trick people into giving away passwords, card numbers or other sensitive data.

It is a form of social engineering rather than technical hacking, and it is the opposite of a protective measure such as encryption or a firewall.
