Spear phishing attacks are the most potent and the most popular among cybercriminals targeting corporations. No verticals are safe, no business type or size is immune. While phishing casts a wide generic net and hopes to scoop a lot of people quickly, spear phishing is, as the name implies, a target-focused activity.
Spear phishing attacks are generally targeted at one or two people in an organization. Unlike regular phishing emails they aren’t always smash-and-grab. Sometimes a rapport is created with a victim -- perhaps a legitimate transaction is made or a mutually beneficial exchange of information occurs -- by the time the actual attack occurs, your team will have walked wide-eyed and willingly into the jaws of a shark.
