Spear Phishing

Spear Phishing is a targeted phishing attack that focuses on a specific individual or organization. Unlike broad phishing attacks, spear phishing involves personalized communications, often appearing to come from a trusted or known source, to deceive the recipient into disclosing confidential information. Awareness and verification processes are key defenses against spear phishing.
