10 reasons why phishing attacks are nastier than ever
http://www.infoworld.com/article/3000943/phishing/10-reasons-why-phishing-attacks-are-nastier-than-ever.html
Enter spearphishing: a targeted approach to phishing
that is proving nefariously effective, even against the most
seasoned security pros. Why? Because they are crafted by
thoughtful professionals who seem to know your business, your
current projects, your interests. They don't tip their hand by
trying to sell you anything or claiming to have money to give
away. In fact, today's spearphishing attempts have far more
sinister goals than simple financial theft.
