Which of the following attacks targets high level executives to gain company information?

Phishing targets a broad or general audience rather than being specifically directed at high-level executives.

Whaling focuses on 'big fish' - senior executives such as CEOs or CFOs - who have privileged access to sensitive corporate data and financial authority. Because targets are high-value individuals, whaling attacks are highly customized and researched to appear legitimate, often mimicking legal subpoenas or board communications. The goal is typically to steal credentials, extract confidential data, or initiate fraudulent wire transfers.

Vishing uses voice calls as the attack vector and is not defined by the seniority or role of its targets.

Spoofing involves forging an identity such as an IP address or email sender and is not specifically a campaign targeting executives.
