Types of Phishing

Phishing attacks are social engineering attacks, and depending on the attacker, they may target a wide variety of people. They may be generic scam emails that are searching for PayPal users. Phishing can also be a targeted attack that is directed at a particular person. Often, the assailant will write you a personalized email that contains facts that only a friend would know. This data is typically obtained by an attacker after getting access to your personal information. Even the most cautious recipients will have a very tough time avoiding becoming a victim if the email is of this kind.
