Phishing and Spear Phishing Explained

Posted on by
This video explains the common form of phishing simply called phishing.  It then goes on to differentiate a more sophisticated, targeted and well-researched attack on businesses known as a Spear-Phishing attacks.  This is where a target is researched through the online and social media presence to craft a phishing attack that is likely to be of some interest to the individual targeted.  For example, an avid cyclist will be targeted with a cyclist focused phishing attack.

This video along with the others in our ‘Video Library’ are examples of what you can see in CyberHoot’s training platform. Our CyberHoot.com Library is not indicative of what exists in our Application Training Library as we have 600+ videos ready to assign for training in the system. Training videos inside the platform consist of Cybersecurity, PCI, HIPAA, Human Resources, ITAR, and various product training programs (QuickBooks, ADP, SalesForce, Teams, etc.).
