Spear Phishing

Spear phishing is a highly targeted form of phishing attack where the attacker customizes their message based on specific characteristics of the recipient, such as their name, job position, or other personal information. The goal is to trick the individual into revealing confidential information or performing actions that compromise security, such as downloading malware or providing access to secure systems. This personalized approach makes spear phishing much more effective than broader phishing attempts, as the tailored communication appears more legitimate and trustworthy to the target.
