Re: Who’s worse?

Depends on the kind of attack. A ROI can be far worse if you end up attacking mostly nerds with little money still living in their parents' basement.

Sure, if your plan is to scam a few dollars from each, or you need a botnet, it can work, you can make money, and it may require less skills.

On the other end if you attack 5% of the market but that market is mostly made of more affluent people, upper managers and so on, and your aims is to scam more money from each, and you skills are adequate, why not? You get targeted advertisingvictims, after all.
