A phisher pretends to be a legitimate company and sends emails requesting confidential data.
What is confidential data?
Confidential data is information which is not generally available to the public. In general, personally identifiable information, such as health information, addresses, prior work experience, and financial data, is considered private. Businesses are obligated by federal and state legislation (changing by state) to create and enforce rules and processes designed to prevent unauthorised retrieval of private information. Employee information, management information, as well as business information are the three broad categories of confidential data.
Phishing is a similar approach for collecting unauthorised data that use email pretexting. The phisher poses as a respectable organisation and sends an email asking sensitive information.
