Angler Phishing

Angler Phishing is a relatively new type of phishing attack and exists on social media.

They do not follow the traditional email format of phishing attacks.

Instead, they disguise themselves as customer service representatives of companies and trick people into sending them information through direct messages.

A common scam is to send people to a fake customer support website that will download malware or in other words ransomware onto the victim’s device.
