Spear Phishing

Spear phishing, a sophisticated form of cyberattack targeting specific individuals, is a growing concern. Current research focuses on improving detection methods using machine learning, particularly employing algorithms like Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and deep learning models incorporating natural language processing and image/speech synthesis to analyze email content and other cues. These advancements aim to enhance the accuracy and resilience of anti-phishing systems against increasingly complex attacks, including those leveraging large language models for realistic email generation and target reconnaissance, ultimately improving cybersecurity defenses.
