Last week a lady in my town of 20,000 had her Apple phone banking hacked and she is out $24,000.00.
last week I was with someone who got the phish and insisted that she go thru the links.
uh-oh.
Phishing is not hacking. Giving someone your information in response to a phishing email is not being hacked. Hacking is a term used to describe getting into someone’s account by trying user names and passwords in creative or repetitive ways, which is why they call it hacking. It’s metaphorically like hacking at weeds or grass to get through. You don’t earn the title of hacker by sending out emails. That would be metaphorically like casting a hook into the water as opposed to going into the water with a spear and a knife.
