I guess this should be called spear-hacking?
- PeterisP 7y agoThis seems to fit the classic definition of spearphishing; the atack vector is an impersonated/fake version of a legit email and its sender. No matter if the payload is in the form of an attachment or web link or a request for some physical action (e.g. please scan and send a copy of your ID) that would fit the phishing title.
