Security note: Dear professionals, UK CPNI Releases Spear Phishing Paper.

The United Kingdom's Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) has recently released a paper titled "Spear Phishing - Understanding the Threat;" this document provides guidance on how spear phishing attacks work, whether you are likely to be a target, and the steps organizations can take to manage the risks.

Connectikpeople.co recalls that, CPNI is the UK's government authority for providing physical, personnel and information security advice to critical national infrastructure.

Therefore, Connectikpeople.co encourages users and administrators to review the CPNI document as well as US-CERT ST04-014, "Avoiding Social Engineering and

Phishing Attacks."
