Email blocked by Anti-Malware - Exploit/SpearPhish

Spear Phishing definition

This is an email-spoofing attack that targets specific organization or individual users seeking to gain access to sensitive information by requesting information such as login IDs and passwords. The email will typically appear to come from someone you know by spoofing the sender, as you may be less vigilant and give them the information they ask for. e.g. email coming from Human Resources department or Technical Support department.
