Abstract
nThe relentless surge of cyber threats represents a pressing challenge to global security and individual privacy. Among these, phishing attacks remain a particularly pernicious form of cybercrime. This paper provides a comprehensive review of phishing attacks, their evolution, methodologies, impacts, and countermeasures. The methods of perpetrating phishing attacks have grown in sophistication, extending beyond the common email phishing to include spear phishing, whaling, clone phishing, vishing, smishing, and search engine phishing. Through in-depth exploration of no case studies, the paper illustrates the substantial financial and non-financial consequences of these attacks. The review also sheds light on the cutting-edge detection and prevention techniques that are currently being deployed to mitigate the risks associated with phishing. Amidst the escalating arms race between cybercriminals and cybersecurity professionals, the paper highlights emergent trends and challenges, stressing the necessity for continued advancements in research and technology. The objective of this paper is to provide a valuable reference for academics, cybersecurity professionals, and policymakers, enabling them to comprehend and address the challenges posed by phishing threats.
