Spear phishing is a targeted form of phishing attack aimed at a specific individual or organization, often using personalized information to increase the likelihood of success.
• Used by attackers to steal sensitive information such as login credentials, financial data, or intellectual property.• Employed in attacks on high-profile individuals such as executives, known as "whaling."
Spear phishing is highly targeted and personalized, while regular phishing casts a wider net with less personalization.
Spear phishing is more dangerous because attackers often use information about their target to craft convincing and tailored messages, making it harder for the victim to detect the scam.
Individuals can protect against spear phishing by being cautious with unsolicited emails, verifying the source of messages, and using multi-factor authentication.
