Spear Phishing matches targeted email messages; Pretexting matches creating a fabricated narrative; Tailgating matches physically following an authorized person into a facility; Whaling matches phishing attacks targeting senior executives.

Tailgating is a physical intrusion technique of closely following authorized personnel into secure areas. Whaling is an executive-level phishing attack aimed at high-value targets such as CEOs or CFOs.
