- Spear phishing is a technique used by spammers and scammers to try
- to get your email username and password. They send you an email,
- often claiming to be from your email provider or employer, in which
- they say that your account will be deleted unless you supply them
- with your username and password "for authentication" or some other
- similar ruse. They say you must reply to the message giving them
- this information, or send a message to a particular address giving
- them this information.
- ClamNailer takes 2 lists of addresses commonly used in these
- attacks, and generates a ClamAV signature database to detect them.
