SMISHING ATTACK-->Phishing through Text message (SMS)

What is smishing?
Smishing is made of two words “SMS” & “Phishing“. Smishing is an advanced technique in which the victim is tricked to download a trojan, virus, malware. Once the trojan is successfully downloaded, the victim’s device is compromised.

In this attack, Hacker sends a malicious SMS(text message scams) from an unknown source to the victim’s mobile phone with some attractive message, intimidating texts, alert message, etc. I mentioned the term “Malicious SMS“ (message with a malicious link).

For Example, Attacker may send you an Alert message like "We have started service on your smartphone it will cost you 20$/month".  If you want to stop it then Go to this link:- “https://maliciouslink.com“.

This link will redirect the normal user to the malicious website. This malicious website can contain the Phishing Page may be automatic downloading trojan anything. But it will be malicious.
