Abstract: The digital world is expanding and evolving rapidly, so cyber criminals attack by illegally using digital assets, especially personal information, to cause damage. Phishing has been one of the biggest concerns as many internet users fall victim to it. Since the first reported phishing attack in 1990, this attack has become a common attack. In the last decade, there have been extensive studies in the field of phishing attacks. This research examines how phishing attacks and methods to prevent such cyber-attacks have been done to identify the process of preventing and detecting these attacks in the future. This review article has been conducted to review academic literature and research conducted on phishing attacks to learn about these attacks and how to counter them. The review of articles and research from 2018 to 2022 will be presented using content analysis in a general and understood framework of phishing attacks.
