Abstract

This paper introduces the term Omniphishing to describe a coordinated, multi-channel phishing attack strategy in which a malicious actor simultaneously leverages multiple digital communication vectors, including email, SMS, voice calls, social media, fake mobile applications, and fraudulent websites, to create a cohesive and persistent deception experience. The concept is formally defined, distinguished from related cybersecurity terms, and proposed as a recognized framework for academic, legal, and professional use in the field of information security.
