Differentiate between spear phishing and phishing?

Answer»

Spear phishing is a type of phishing assault that targets a small number of high-value targets, USUALLY just one. Phishing usually entails SENDING a bulk EMAIL or message to a big group of people. It implies that spear-phishing will be much more personalized and perhaps more well-researched (for the individual), whereas phishing will be more like a real fishing trip where WHOEVER eats the hook is CAUGHT.
