Yes, phishing attacks can indeed occur over the phone, a practice commonly known as vishing (voice phishing). Vishing involves fraudsters making phone calls to individuals and posing as legitimate entities, such as banks, government agencies, or tech support, in order to deceive victims into providing sensitive information, such as account credentials or personal data. These attackers use persuasive tactics and social engineering techniques to create a sense of urgency or fear, prompting victims to act quickly without questioning the legitimacy of the call. Vishing attacks exploit the human element of trust and authority, making it crucial for individuals to remain vigilant and cautious when receiving unexpected or unsolicited phone calls requesting personal information.
