But for years everyone has been saying that phishing emails have bad grammar on purpose. Was that a lie?

- ceroxylon 3y agoThere are different flavors of phishing, the bad grammar ones are more effective in the "spray and pray" techniques to get easy targets, whereas grammar and style matching is more useful in targeted spear phishing campaigns.
- weinzierl 3y agoI think this is an oversimplification. I've seen well made dragnet style messages as well. I'm of the opinion that the chain of arguments that says I'm not important, I will not be a target of spearfishing, I only need to care about dragnet style messages and everyone knows they are easy to spot because they are always so amateurish is very, very dangerous.
