Phishing
A message built to look like it came from someone you trust, so that you hand over a password, a code or a payment.
Also known as spear phishing email fraud
Definition
Phishing targets the person, not the software, which is why no firewall stops it. The convincing ones copy a real sender, a real logo and a real-sounding reason to hurry.
The defence that works is procedural: verify out of band before acting, and put a second pair of eyes on any payment change.
