- Data scraping refers to a computer program or bot that extracts human-readable data from another program, site, or platform.
- Data scraping can open the door to spear phishing attacks; hackers can learn the names of superiors, ongoing projects, trusted third parties, etc.
- Essentially, everything a hacker could need to craft their message to make it plausible and provoke the correct (rash and ill-informed) response in their victims.
