I'm assuming they're mass sending these to people in a specific area code and hoping to steal credit card info.

Recently got a phishing email about someone in India hacking my Disney+ account and how to "restore it" by giving them credentials. It was extremely well-crafted and official looking,the only way I got set off was that it was sent to the wrong email of mine, one not associated with Disney.

Phishing scams are getting better, especially with ChatGPT

I got an authentic looking email using a spoofed email address from my host. The red flag was I didn't register my domain name with them. That's the only reason why I checked the raw message.
