Phishing and smishing continue to be a problem

from Let's Talk About Scams Hosted by Talk 4 Podcasting

It is time to talk about “phishing” because a friend recently fell for a phishing scheme. The email, which appeared to come from his cable company, claimed that the method of payment was rejected. And while we are at it, let’s talk about “smishing”, a social engineering attack using fake text messages to trick people into sending money to cybercriminals, sharing sensitive information, or downloading malware.
