Spear Phishing
Spear Phishing ek prakar ka cyber attack hai. Ismein, hackers apna target ka chunav karte hain aur phir apne victim ko email, sms ya kisi aur electronic tarike se contact karte hain. Hacker ki email ya sms normal dikhenge, lekin usmein ek link ya attachment hota hai jo malware ki tarah kaam karta hai. Jab victim us link ya attachment ko open karta hai, to uska device ya system infect ho jata hai.
Spear Phishing normal Phishing se alag hai kyunki ismein hackers apne victim ka pehle se research karte hain aur phir unhe convincing emails ya messages send karte hain. Jaise ki, agar victim ek company mein kaam karta hai, to hacker company ke naam se faked emails bhejega aur usmein job ko lekar jhoothi baatein likhega. Jab victim apne login details deta hai, to hacker uske login credentials ko use karke company ke sensitive data tak pahunch sakta hai.
Isliye, humein apne inbox ke spam emails ko carefully check karna chahiye aur suspicious emails ko delete karna chahiye. Hum apne devices ko regularly update karna chahiye aur strong passwords use karna chahiye. Agar kisi suspicious activity ka doubt ho, to humein apne IT department se contact karna chahiye.
