Which of the following describes the key difference between vishing and phishing attacks?

While phishing attacks can lead to identity theft, this is a potential outcome and not the exclusive or defining characteristic that differentiates phishing from other social engineering attacks like vishing.

Both vishing and phishing attacks can be either highly targeted, requiring some prior knowledge of the victim, or broad, untargeted campaigns, thus this is not a distinguishing difference.

Vishing, short for 'voice phishing,' specifically utilizes telephony services, such as phone calls or VoIP, to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information or performing actions. This method directly contrasts with phishing, which primarily employs email or text messages as its attack vector.

Both phishing and vishing are categories of social engineering attacks, meaning this statement describes a shared characteristic rather than a key difference between the two.
