Spear phishing emails are like phishing on steroids, targeting specific individuals with personalized details to trick them into giving up sensitive information or downloading malware. They can seem super convincing because they often include info about you or someone you know. Be wary of unexpected attachments, urgent messages, or requests for personal info, as these are major red flags that could lead to data breaches, financial loss, and other security issues.
Hi Nick,
I'm in a meeting and need you to do me a quick favor.
I need 5 gift cards for a staff gift - can you run to the store and buy me five $25 Amazon gift cards?
Thank you,
- Kerry
