What is Smishing?

Introduction

No matter what sort of device you use to connect to the Internet, you can always assume that a bad actor may try to hack it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a PC, a mobile phone, or a laptop—it can be compromised if you’re not too careful. There are multiple ways that a hacker can get in, but it’s usually a method of social engineering. In the case of a mobile device, it could be smishing.

The many forms of social engineering can be concerning, but they should all be treated the same way. If something seems off about a message you receive, it’s probably not something you should interact with. Mobile phones can be hacked just like a PC or laptop can, so it’s always important to remember not to click on any strange links or reply to weird messages.
