Spear phishing represents a sophisticated form of cyberattack where the attacker crafts personalized, authentic-seeming emails or messages directed at particular individuals or organizations.

Unlike generic phishing attempts that target a broad audience, spear phishing is meticulously planned and executed to ensure the messages appear highly credible and relevant to the recipient.

The primary objectives of such attacks are to manipulate recipients into divulging sensitive information, such as login credentials and financial details, or to persuade them to install malicious software on their systems.

This type of attack exploits the human element of security, leveraging tailored information and social engineering techniques to breach defenses more effectively than through traditional hacking methods.
