In general I've seen a noticeable increase in phishing in the past few
months. They've diversified well beyond the usual bank sites and PayPal
to include Amazon order confirmations, Facebook notifications, and a
bunch of other popular web services. I guess the objective of these is
less about stealing credentials, and just a more effective way to get
people to click on a link.

When they come in batches of 4 or 5 a day, they're pretty easy to spot.

I use vendor-specific addresses for almost everything, so it's pretty
easy to spot the fakes even before opening them.
