Abstract

Phishing attacks remain one of the most prevalent and destructive forms of cybercrime, posing significant threats to individuals, organizations, and governments. These attacks, which typically involve fraudulent attempts to steal sensitive information, have evolved in sophistication, exploiting both technological vulnerabilities and human error. This paper reviews various prevention and response strategies for phishing attacks, examining both proactive measures to prevent phishing attempts and reactive responses to mitigate damage post-attack. It discusses common phishing techniques such as email phishing, spear phishing, and smishing, alongside the tools and frameworks designed to combat these threats. Additionally, the paper explores the role of awareness training, multi-factor authentication, and advanced email filtering in preventing phishing attacks. In response strategies, it covers incident reporting, containment actions, and the importance of post-attack analysis for improving organizational resilience. Ultimately, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of best practices for minimizing the risk and impact of phishing, aiming to equip both individuals and organizations with effective countermeasures.
