Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phishing involves creating fake websites or email messages that mimic legitimate ones to trick users into providing sensitive information such as passwords and personal details. This is a form of spoofing because the attacker is pretending to be someone or something they're not in order to deceive the victim. Logging refers to the act of recording data either to monitor activity or steal information, while sniffing is the act of intercepting network traffic to gather data.
