Featured in the Business section of the Chicago Tribune on August 11, Dr.
Eagle explained whaling, which was coined the "word of the day" by reporter
Becky Yerak. Whaling is a new form of phishing which threatens to cripple
financial institutions from the top down by targeting executives and other
high-level employees. In this scam, perpetrators collect extensive
information on top executives from company websites, social networking sites
such as LinkedIn, and other readily available information sources. The
emails sent to these executives are carefully written to entice the
recipient into clicking on a website that downloads malware onto his/her
computer, which then records keystrokes and other activity.
