A phishing attack tries to trick you into sharing personal information, but spear phishing takes it further.
It’s a highly targeted scam where criminals personalize messages using details about you – like your name, workplace, or recent activities – to make them look legitimate.
Example: An email from what looks like your boss, asking you to quickly transfer funds or share account access.

How to protect yourself:
Double-check sender addresses (even if the name looks familiar).
