Whaling

Whaling, spear phishing, and phishing are all variants on the same pattern of attack. At a high level, the target is sent correspondence---usually an email---and asked to take an action that seems legitimate but is in fact masking the transfer of information/money/etc.

This piece frames these attacks in easy to understand terms. Helping you recognize them and to not fail victim.
