What are some common techniques used in phishing attacks?

### REPLY:
In phishing attacks, attackers often use advanced techniques such as spear-phishing, where they specifically target individuals or groups with personalized messages. They might also employ keyloggers or remote access tools to capture sensitive information without the victim's knowledge. Additionally, attackers sometimes use tactics like voice phishing (vishing) or SMS phishing (smishing) to trick individuals into providing their personal details over the phone or via text messages.
