I think it’s more technically correct as “of whom are you afraid” as you should not end a sentence with a preposition.

Then again, I’m a software engineer so perhaps not.

Bork, you're a Federal Agent. You represent the United States government. Never end a sentence with a preposition!

Ending sentences with prepositions is something up with which I will not put!

It's fine to end a sentence with a prepositional or phrasal verb. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/end-sentence-preposition/

You can end a sentence in a preposition, and whom isn't a preposition anyway. It's a pronoun.
