Have you noticed an increase in unknown phone numbers sending you text messages with strange web links lately? That’s because the newest craze for hackers is SMS phishing scams. “Phishing” is the fraudulent practice of sending messages pretending to be from reputable companies to convince individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card information. This scam is classically performed via email, but hackers have now made their way to SMS. Once the victim clicks on the web link in the text message, they‘re hacked, and their personal information could be exposed and stolen.
