description: `Phishing is an attempt to obtain sensitive information (like an account password) by disguising as a trustworthy person or company. Phishing often occurs via email where a hacker will use social engineering to convince someone to click a link that goes to a fake login page. The fake login page then sends anything the victim types (including usernames and passwords) to the hacker.

\n\n**Smart people are not immune to phishing.**
\n\nYou should learn the basics of phishing and how to identify a phishing attempt.`,
