Does anyone feel that phishing has developed?

E.g. in my personal feeling, there are fewer email scams nowadays.

Your thoughts, guys?

Thanks for the provided links. I understand how important it is to timely update software, have trusted antiviruses and THINK.
I know many examples of phone scams when thieves wanted to learn credit card data from people pretending to be bank representatives. And they know the psychological tricks of people's thinking, so that's a scary thing.

Actually I've been seeing bad guys take advantage of legitimate services to send more spam and phishing attacks such as through sendgrid.
