Spotlight on Phishing: A Longitudinal Study on Phishing Awareness Trainings

Phishing is in practice one of the most common attack vectors threatening digital assets. An attacker sends a legitimate-looking e-mail to a victim to lure her on a website with the goal of tricking the victim into revealing credentials. A phishing e-mail can use both technical (e.g., a forged link) and psychological vectors (e.g., an authoritarian tone) to persuade the victim.
