Phishing
A security attacked based on tricking you to put important data like your login and password into a fake website. For example, a faked email from your bank, even using the proper bank picture you're expecting. They tell you there has been a breach and you need to login immediately and change your password. Don't do it, go to the website directly and see if they have any message there. When in doubt, call the company.
