What is?
Cyber-criminals use phishing (a form of social engineering) to gather credentials and other information about you to either attack your accounts or service provider. A spear phish attack is a sophisticated attack in which the bad actor researches your institution (in this case IÉSEG) and uses that information to imitate their communications and trick you into providing sensitive information.
