Vishing, short for “voice phishing,” is a type of cybercrime where attackers use phone calls or voice messages to deceive individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as personal details, financial information, or login credentials. This method often involves scammers impersonating legitimate entities like banks, government agencies, or tech support to gain the victim’s trust. Vishing aims to exploit human vulnerabilities rather than technological weaknesses, making awareness and vigilance crucial in protecting against such attacks.
