Phishing, in the digital asset space, involves deceptive practices aimed at tricking individuals into divulging sensitive information, such as private keys or login credentials, typically through fraudulent communications. These attacks exploit user trust to gain unauthorized access to digital wallets or exchange accounts, leading to the theft of digital assets. Vigilance against such social engineering tactics is paramount for user security.
