What is Phishing and How it’s Works?

We all listen about the phishing many times, but very less to know about it and  some of them have a little knowledge about the phishing. So they will infected to phishing and lost their personal details, username, password etc.
What is  Phishing?      
Phishing is a way of attempting to acquire sensitive  information by a fake page. Scammers will use such attacks to steal money and identities from many new victims around the world. The scammers often create a "look-a-like" webpage that is designed to resemble the target company’s official website. Most of the phishing page is spread through Emails messages with a link of phishing page. Links in phishing scam messages are often disguised to
make it appear that they lead to the genuine institution site. The sender address of the email may also be disguised in such a way that it appears to have originated from the targeted company such as “Dear account holder” or “Dear [targeted institution] customer”.
How Phishing  Page Works?
When a victim receive an email from spammers with a link of phishing page, and when user click on the link than the same page open as the link claims like as any target website, any email account etc. So when user fill up the username, password, personal details, account details etc. than these details will send to the scammers and the phishing page will redirects to the original page. So the user don’t understand it.
We take an example to better understand “The scammers will create phishing page and upload them to any hosting site and they use three files for phishing such as an html page[Phishing page], php file[all operation will done here] and txt file[to store password]. So when the user enter his personal details to the phishing page than the php file will save the details to the txt file and and than redirects to the original page.  So that when the user enter second time it successfully done to login and the user do not know that their details was hacked.

Good Luck......
