Spear phishing has a little bit new variation but at the same time it is also quite difficult to identify. This spear phishing is an email which comes from an unknown person or from a business which you know. In this phishing attack, the users are directly targeted instead of sending “shot in the dark” which someone may hopefully allow to enter it. Because of this only it has got the name ‘spear phishing’. You can also get the complete information related to this phishing at:
