A phishing attack is launched by a malefactor sending out emails designed to look like they are coming from a legitimate trusted source such as the victim's bank, the tax collector, the phone company, law enforcement, PayPal, etc. The victim is asked to visit a site that looks like a legitimate web site for the trusted entity where they are usually asked to enter sensitive data such as account passwords, personal ID numbers, bank account numbers etc. that can then be misused by the evil-doer to steal money from or incur debt in the name of the victim. Sometimes the attack will be designed to implant malware on the victim's computer which can then be used to steal more information from the victim or take control of the victim's computer for further use in nefarious schemes.
