Phishing

Phishing is a type of cyber attack in which attackers use deception to trick individuals into providing sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, credit card data, or other personal details. Attacks typically involve fraudulent emails, messages, or websites that appear to come from a reputable source.

In digital fundraising, phishing poses severe risks to a charity's reputation and donor trust. Attackers may create fake donation forms or fundraising emails that imitate the nonprofit’s brand to fraudulently solicit donations.
