Hello Guys! Today we are going to learn about a very interesting term that is vishing that is also known as ‘Phishing over Voice Call‘. There are both pros and cons of the digital era we are living in.

But today we want to introduce with a very common attack that is Vishing. This is a very common attack almost everyone knows about this.

What Is Vishing Attack?

Vishing is made up of two words “Voice Call” and “Phishing“. This is completely a Social Engineering attack. In this, Black Hat Attacker calls to the victim’s device and ask for the OTP(One Time Password). They don’t ask it simply because nobody will tell if you ask directly for the OTP.

So, they call the victim by introducing themselves with a fake identity like they tell the victim that “We are calling from Paypal and we have some problems with your account [then they tell their Debit Card/Credit Card last four-digit number (to win trust)]. We are going to freeze your Bank Account because we are having some issues with some of your documents, you won’t able to withdraw any cash from your bank account.

If you don’t want to freeze your bank account then we need some of your documents like debit card number, OTP, etc. Once, the victim tells the OTP then attackers are able to successfully complete the transaction.“

If the victim isn’t aware of such kind of attacks then he/she can easily get trapped into this.

This process of tricking normal users to get their sensitive information is known as Vishing. Voice with Phishing.

How to prevent vishing Attacks?

Vishing Scams

As I told you, Vishing is one of the most used methods of Social Engineering to gain access to anyone’s personal account. Vishing scams are one of the most happening scams. In this attack, the Attacker targets those people who are not aware of these kinds of attacks.

I’m sharing a Youtube video here, which describes this Vishing scams full scenario.
