What is a Phishing Attack?

Phishing Attacks

One of the oldest and most frequently used attack types in the world of the internet, phishing, also known as "oltalama" or "yemleme" in Turkish, is an attack where the attacker aims to obtain sensitive and important information such as passwords, card details, banking transaction information, and identity information from their targeted victims or randomly selected individuals. They achieve this by sending attractive and enticing messages containing content like gifts, freebies, or opportunities to the victim's email or social media message inboxes, making these fake messages appear genuine.

What is Vishing (Voice Phishing)?

The effectiveness of phishing attacks has rapidly changed in recent years, becoming a largely automated system with planned and programmed scenarios and methods. To protect yourself against phishing attacks, you can check the sender and content before opening links and files in incoming emails. Vishing, the method of deceiving the targeted victim using voice, emerged from using the letter 'p' from the word 'Phishing' and the letter 'v' from the word 'voice', meaning "voice deception." Through this method, it is aimed to obtain information from the targeted individuals by exploiting the vast opportunities provided by technology. Vishing attacks, carried out over the phone, usually create a sense of urgency and a need for a quick response, instilling panic and fear in the targeted person while giving the impression of helping. After gaining trust, information is obtained from the targeted individual who is in a state of panic and fear.
