7.2 Some cases of Phishing
Phishing is highly risky as it allows you to steal data on a large scale and with little effort. In 2011, a phishing attempt targeted many Gmail accounts of the US and South Korean governments and armed forces. Just a few years later, in 2013, 110 million customers of a well-known company fell into the phishing network, suffering theft of their credit card access data. In 2017, a mammoth phishing attempt attacks the accounting departments of Facebook and Google, tricking the giants into transferring over $ 100 million to phantom overseas bank accounts controlled by a hacker.
