Introduction

Cybercrime falls into two major areas. The first comes in the form of attacks against computer hardware and software from threats such as viruses, malware, botnets, and network intrusion. The second is financial, and can include fraud, theft of financial information, and phishing.

Phishing

Phishing is a cyber attack that uses disguised email as a weapon. The goal is to trick the email recipient into believing that the message is something they want or need — a request from their bank, for instance, or a note from someone in their company — and to click a link or download an attachment.
