      When they send the emails at night, it’s called nocturnal emishing. It’s a serious problem that affects thousands of people each night.

      Nah phishing is a 90s term though probably coined in reference to phreaking. That started up in the 60s and by the 80s even the US had mostly switched to out of band signalling for their telephone system so none of the stuff worked any more.
