Talking Spearfishing gets a new definition

spearfishing is the new term used for the highly selective practice of getting into a corporate computer network and taking down big money
Spearfishing definition - Hackers using junk mail to breech corporate computer networks

Re: Spearfishing gets a new definition

So now Our sport will be linked with computerhackers. The sad part is more people will know what it is by this report than know what we do as a sport.

Re: Spearfishing gets a new definition

Hacking via mail is generally called "phishing" so I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually referred to as "spear phishing".

(can't watch the video on my iPhone right now, so not sure if they addressed this slight semantic difference)

In the video, they did spell it "fishing."

Oh well, at least it will be illegal in Laguna.
