Whaling is a specific type of phishing attack that targets high-profile individuals within an organization, such as executives or key decision-makers, using personalized and often sophisticated methods.
• Used by attackers to trick executives into transferring funds or divulging sensitive company information.• Employed in attacks that aim to gain access to high-value corporate accounts or systems.
Whaling is highly targeted, focusing on key individuals within an organization, while regular phishing is more generic and sent to a broad audience.
Consequences can include financial losses, unauthorized access to critical systems, and the exposure of sensitive corporate data.
Organizations can protect against whaling by training executives on the risks, implementing strict security protocols, and using multi-factor authentication.
