Fewer Phishing Emails, Sharper Hooks: Why the Drop in Volume Is the Wrong Number to Watch
If you've noticed slightly less junk in your inbox lately, don't relax. Phishing volume is down about 20%, but that's not good news for you. Attackers are trading mass spam for fewer, far more convincing messages built with AI, and those are the ones designed to fool people who think they're too careful to fall for a scam.
Bottom Line
The decline in phishing volume isn't a retreat; it's an upgrade. Attackers are spending their AI budget on precision instead of reach, which means the average malicious email you receive is now more likely to succeed even as fewer of them land. Judge your risk by how convincing the threats are, not by how many you see.
