        abstract = {In the current scenario, every person from the richest businessman to the normal ordinary person is facing issues regarding cyber attacks like password cracking, different types of virus attacks, phishing, etc. One of the major problems faced by the people is phishing attacks. A small link can make the biggest loss. Even though the government provides many awareness programs, many people are facing issues regarding phishing emails, messages, etc.
In this phishing attack, the attacker may send a link to the target person. In that link, the attacker may include malicious software programs to get sensitive information like bank account details, credit card details, passwords etc., which are related to the target person. Not only sending links through mail, there are also other types of phishing attacks which will be discussed in this journal.},
