∙ 12y agoIt is mainly the violation of privacy!
The impact of phishing is far more insidious than just an invasion of privacy. Phishing is used to compromise computer security through social engineering. It can be used to steal information, disrupt computer operations, steal money, ruin reputations, destroy important information or feed the ego of an attacker. The most destructive uses are probably to facilitate the theft of information from companies and governments and the theft of money from individuals and corporations.
