Most people that fall for phishing scams are untrained professionals, like my 50-something mother, who has no clue of what she's doing on her phone.

- edent 10y agoThat's not my experience at all. In a previous job I got a bunch of "I've had my wallet stolen - please send money" spam from people who I'd consider very technically literate. If that message I received had been a touch more convincing, I've no doubt that I'd have fallen for it. All it takes is to catch someone while they're sleepy, drunk, or distracted.
- sharemywin 10y agoI think your both right it's some kind of statistical curve. High frequency for less technical literate, but still happens quite a lot as an aggregate for others.
