Smishing

Smishing is a type of phishing attack that uses SMS (Short Message Service) or text messages to trick individuals into giving up sensitive information. Attackers send fraudulent text messages that appear to be from legitimate sources, such as banks, government agencies, or popular businesses. These messages often contain urgent requests, warnings, or enticing offers designed to lure recipients into clicking malicious links, calling fake phone numbers, or providing personal details.
