Phishing

Phishing involves emails that appear to be from legitimate sender but are scams which ask for verification of personal information, such as an account number, a password, or a date of birth. If unsuspecting victims respond or interact with possible links attached to the email, the result may be stolen accounts, financial loss, or identity theft.

Worms

Worms can easily traverse across a network without detection and can gain access to all personal information if not handled correctly. Unlike a virus, Worms can self replicate, hopping to multiple computers that are connected to the same network each cycle.
