- Whaling - is similar to spear phishing, but it's targeted specifically to C-Suite
- Smishing - takes phishing to mobile devices by targeting mobile users with specially crafted text messages.
- Vishing - is similar to smishing, but instead of using text messages for the social engineering attack, the attacks are based on voice calls.
