Attacking reagents are those which attack on the substrate or reactants.
They are classified into 2:
1) Electrophiles ( Electron deficient)
2) Nucleophiles (Electron rich)

H+ is electron deficient so, it is an electophile.
But, one important point which should be remembered and understood in electrophiles is that, '' They have vacant orbitals and free radicals are not considered as electrophiles.
H3O+ is a free radical and oxygen doesn't have vacant orbitals so, it is not an electrophile.
The difference is that H+ is an electrophile whereas H3O+ is not an electrophile.

Thanks.
Hope this helps you!!
