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!

Sorry, IT security researcher. That concept is a myth, they want to craft emails and messages to look like the real source they are spoofing. They often run something through Google Translate and will think that it is errant and “correct” what the translation renders. This is why TOEIC tests give students very close to correct English and ask them to correct it. If it is close to perfect it throws off the ESL reader to want to make changes that make sense via their language base.
