In these attacks, attackers <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">send their victims<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> emails that contain information about the transfer of financial data or other sensitive information. However, these emails are easy to detect, and the security department can easily track them down. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The success of phishing attacks depends on how realistic they are, and this requires skills.
