Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Vishing is the correct term - it combines 'voice' and 'phishing'. This attack uses VoIP phone systems to deceive victims into revealing personal information, often by spoofing caller ID to appear as legitimate organizations. The other options are incorrect: 'wishing' is unrelated, 'Viking' refers to Norse seafarers, and 'Fishing' is the actual activity (the cybercrime is 'phishing' with a 'ph').
