Smishing what?

Smishing is the latest form of phishing

Smishing is a form of phishing that uses text messages (as opposed to emails) to trick unknowing recipients
into clicking a malicious link or otherwise “mining” personal information through their replies.

They became a particularly popular method of attack during the COVID-19 pandemic and preyed on
peoples fear and easy spread of misinformation.

Some popular methods include:

Text messages being sent to you that spoof your own number
Problem with a delivery
Fake appointment scheduling
Offer of a free gift
Security issue with your account (often impersonates Netflix or Amazon)

Hackers have gotten more crafty with the way in which they attempt to steal your information. Don’t fall victim to cyber bullies and give us a call today.
