"Smishing is yet another tool used by
cybercriminals to obtain personal information and steal identities.
You’ve probably heard of ‘phishing,’ which is an attempt to get people
to provide sensitive information via email, like credit card numbers or
passwords. Smishing is a mashup of SMS (short message service) and
phishing.
Basically, it’s phishing via text."
