What is the primary characteristic of "Spear Phishing" attacks?

  1. Unsolicited and random targeting

  2. Broad distribution of emails

  3. Targeted emails resembling trusted entities

  4. Public disclosure of sensitive information

The correct answer is: Targeted emails resembling trusted entities

"Spear Phishing" attacks are characterized by targeted emails that are tailored to specific individuals or organizations, making them appear as if they are coming from a trusted source. This personalized approach increases the chances of the recipient falling for the attack as they are more likely to trust the source of the email. In contrast, options A, B, and D do not accurately describe the primary characteristic of Spear Phishing attacks.
