How does phishing affects your computer?

Phishing affects your computer primarily by tricking you into revealing sensitive information, such as passWords or financial details, often through deceptive emails or websites. If you fall victim to a phishing attack, it can lead to malware installation, data breaches, or unauthorized access to your accounts. This not only compromises your personal data but can also result in financial loss and damage to your computer's security. Additionally, phishing can spread malware that affects other devices on your network.
