Non-crypto scams and phishing attacks are getting crazy sophisticated and widespread. Small companies are getting hit with very targeted efforts, tricking customers and employees and former employees into paying for fake things.

Is the total number of people doing attacks increasing? Can we imagine a world where people realize that it's less work and more profitable to scam megacorps all day than to work minimum wage jobs?

Feels like another symptom from wealth and rights inequality.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.
