Phishing— what it means in affiliate marketing
Obtaining credentials or card details through fake sites, emails or messages that impersonate a real service.
In this industry affiliates are targets as often as they are a channel: ad accounts, network logins and wallets are all worth stealing. A phishing page served to a reviewer is also the fastest way to lose a domain permanently.
