Q. What are the different methods to do phishing?

Answer :-

Phishing is typically carried out by email spoofing or instant messaging and it often directs the users to enter personal information at a fake website, the look and feel of which is identical to the legitimate one, the only difference being the URL of the website in question.

Communications purporting to be from social websites, auction sites, banks, online payment processors or IT administrators are often used to lure victims. Phishing emails may contain links to websites that distribute malware.
