Identify the attack where an attacker manipulates or tricks people into revealing their confidential details like bank account information, credit card details, etc.?
Correct Answer: A
The attack described in the question is a Social Engineering Attack. This type of attack involves manipulating or deceiving people into divulging confidential information such as bank account details, credit card numbers, and other sensitive data.
