Phishing and Pharming
Phishing and Pharming are two methods of cyberattacks to lure a victim to false websites in order to send them malware or get his/her personal information. Phishing involves getting a user to enter personal information via a fake website. Pharming involves modifying DNS entries, which causes users to be directed to the wrong website when they visit a certain Web address.
Phishing Kit
The phishing kit can be described as a collection of several software programs that allows an individual to manage and launch specific types of campaigns and phishing scams. The phishing kit makes it easy for those with even few technical skills to launch some kind of phishing exploit.
Phishing Schemes
Phishing schemes involve getting a user to enter a website and input their personal information for the fraudster to then steal and take advantage of. This website often times emulates the design of a legitimate business's website, in the hopes of tricking people into entering their information on a site they think is real and trustworthy. Phishing is usually performed through deceptive emails or phone calls, but other methods exist.
