Miss Madhu clicks on a web link in a message that promises her a complimentary trip and forwards it to her friend Arun, who refuses and warns that her account names, login information and passwords can be stolen. She should be careful of such which kind of attack?

Phishing tricks a user through a fake link or message into revealing account names, logins and passwords.

Spamming means sending unsolicited bulk messages, not specifically stealing credentials.

Scamming is a broad term for fraud and does not name this credential-stealing link technique.

Plagiarism is copying someone's work as one's own, unrelated to this attack.

The promise of a free trip is a typical phishing lure.

Checking the real web address before clicking helps avoid phishing.
