The Impact of Phishing: Beyond the Immediate Threat
Unpacking the Phishing Impact:
Phishing attacks can have severe repercussions, ranging from unauthorized access to sensitive information to financial loss and reputational damage. However, the aftermath often extends to legal consequences, making it crucial for victims to navigate the recovery process with a comprehensive strategy.
Legal Implications of Phishing:
