I was wondering if mass phishing campaigns still work, as the trend is it’s dying smishing to be precise

It's still a widely used strategy to gather bank logs as well as CCs.

Absolutely. People fall for phishing attacks all the time and they still work. Sure not your bootleg Indian outdated spash screen type, but there are some excellently crafted phishing attacks that even people in the security field.

Spearphishing is also obviously still relevant and used, the more your attack is personalized, the higher odds of the victim falling for it.

mass phishing campaigns can still be effective, but they are less successful than targeted attacks (spear-phishing). As cybersecurity awareness improves, general phishing tactics often get caught by spam filters and users are more cautious. However, because these campaigns target a large audience, even a small success rate can lead to substantial results. Automated tools, social engineering, and emotional triggers continue to be used to deceive users. The effectiveness depends on how convincing and timely the attack is.

They work and always will. There are people out there.. Jesus Christ.. They'd believe anything. I used to think the common phishing was stupid until I saw the victims..

Someone that I used to know said the average is 10 results per 1000 messages, this was last year. I'm also assuming if you're using shit pages you can expect much less or even 0 results.

"If you're a rookie at it don't bother because your shitty campaigns will ruin it for everyone else".
"I swear if I could teleport to every wannabe spammer & shoot them in the back of the head I f**king would I swear matey".
"Why am I selling shitty 'fulls' for $10-$20 to skids who somehow manage to make 90000% APY off it."

She always used to get so heated about it always had her sweating & stressed so it's up to you if you want to bare the weight of being a mass campaigner.
