Let me start off by clarifying a simple concept to anybody who doesn’t understand internet security or black hat hacking; a phishing scam IS NOT A HACK!
A hack is when somebody exploits the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of a internet security system. This can be the security system of a website, a company, an organization etc. A phishing scam is when somebody exploits the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of a person’s mind.
Most hacks are actually phishing scams in disguise. We now live in a world with high tech con artists and they’re finding ways to perfect old confident schemes. As the saying goes, “The more things change, the more they stay the same”.
