Doing data protection training and it says ‘Many hackers misspell words… on purpose.’
I’m glad this makes scams easier to spot but it just doesn’t seem to make sense to me as a useful tactic at all.
Edit: typo correction- hackers not jackets!

Easy: you don’t want to waste time on a mark that will realize what the scam is partway through the process and abort. Thus, when phishing, you ideally want to select only the dumbest people you can find.
They do this by making the scam pretty obvious in the initial phase. Anybody who can’t see through their opener is probably an exceptional rube they can extract money from as long as the rest of the scheme is halfway competent.
