What is Spear Phishing?

91% of cyberattacks begin with a spear phishing email. In these phishing emails, hackers design the email to look authentic so the employee thinks it is coming from the real source it’s claiming to be. These phishing emails may appear to come from credible company’s customer support departments, such as Microsoft or Google or could even appear to come from you (their boss). In many cases, once an employee falls for a phishing scam, their computers/mobile devices become infected with ransomware.
