it clearly states in the article that spear phishing was the method used

spear phishing is just sending you bogus links and trying to convince you to click on it. it is different than the usual Nigerian prince emails because it is targeted toward someone and not randomly sent.

it seems like even the IMF clicks on the "get rich quick" emails
