Phishing Scheme

Definition

A phishing scheme is a fraudulent attempt to acquire sensitive information, such as cryptocurrency wallet keys or login credentials, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. These scams often employ deceptive emails, websites, or messages designed to trick individuals into revealing personal data. Victims typically unknowingly grant access to their digital assets or accounts. This method exploits human trust rather than technical vulnerabilities.
