Phishing attacks are the practice of sending fraudulent communications that appear to come from a reputable source. It is usually done through email. The goal is to steal sensitive data like credit card and login information, or to install malware on the victim’s machine. In Bitcoin, phishing attacks are used to try to gain access to a user’s Bitcoin exchange account, wallet file, or seed phrase. It is important to have proper security practices in place and always be on the lookout for scams.
