A look at how hackers create spear phishing emails
Spear phishing emails are highly effective and have been the cause of many successful hacking attempts. Unlike a regular phishing email that could be sent to thousands or millions of recipients, a spear phishing email is created to target just one victim. And if that victim falls for the bait, there is a good chance that they will turn over valuable information including network user accounts and passwords or confidential information such as bank account login credentials.
