phishing email example

What is Phishing attack / phishing email

Phishing email, or phishing attack, is tricking people into telling you confidential information (password, social security number, credit card number, bank login information, address, date of birth, etc.). It could be in form of a phone call, website, email. They will will pretend to be someone or something the person normally would give confidential information to.

The sample below that I got from my work email, it’s trying to be from our HR/Payroll (Human Resources) department. It’s an email with Promotion_letter.docx Microsoft Word file attached.
