A finance department employee receives an instant message from what appears to be a senior executive asking for verification of their login credentials to resolve an urgent issue. What type of attack is the employee experiencing?
Vishing
Denial-of-Service
Man-in-the-Middle
Phishing
Phishing involves sending deceptive messages, like instant messages, to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials. In this scenario, the attacker impersonates a senior executive to gain trust and elicit the employee's credentials, which is characteristic of a phishing attack. Vishing refers to phishing conducted via voice calls, Denial-of-Service attacks aim to disrupt service availability, and Man-in-the-Middle attacks involve intercepting communications between two parties without their knowledge.
