This study examines the threat of phishing link attacks to user account security by tracing common attack patterns, user behavior, and system vulnerabilities. The study explains how attackers use fake URLs to trick users into unknowingly providing personal information and login credentials. Through qualitative analysis of several phishing case studies, it was found that low user awareness, weak link verification habits, and lack of protection at the platform level significantly increase the risk of credential theft. This research also emphasizes the importance of implementing multi-factor authentication, URL filtering, and ongoing user education as mitigation efforts to minimize the impact of phishing attacks. The findings of this study provide insight into effective prevention strategies that can improve user account security and support the development of more robust authentication systems.
