What is smishing?
Phishing delivered over SMS text messages.
In more detail
Growing quickly, because people extend more trust to their phones than to their inboxes and because most security awareness programs never practise it. Common pretexts are delivery notifications, bank alerts and messages appearing to come from a manager.
Why it matters
It sidesteps every email control you have bought.
