Phishing is an attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by pretending to be a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. It often takes the form of an email or website link.
Spear phishing is a more specific type of phishing attack that targets a particular person or organization. Unlike regular phishing attacks, spear phishing emails often contain personal information about the intended victim, such as their name, job title, or internal contact information. The content of the email is usually tailored to the target, often appearing to come from a trusted contact. This makes spear phishing emails much more effective than regular phishing attacks
