How do phishing attacks use fake websites?

Phishing attacks use fake websites to steal login credentials and sensitive data by tricking users into thinking they are on a legitimate website. Attackers create replica websites that look very similar to the real ones, often using similar URLs, logos, and branding to deceive users. These fake websites prompt users to enter their login credentials or sensitive information, which is then captured by the attackers. This stolen data is then used for malicious purposes such as identity theft, unauthorized access to accounts, or financial fraud.
