Just like phishing, but targeted at a specific person or group. Spear-phishing is a highly focused attack with a higher probability of success due to a well-researched pretext. Anti-phishing training can make employees more resilient against spear-phishing attacks.
Pretending to be a bank in an email sent just to a person with that bank is an example of spear phishing.
