“SMSHING”, “SMISHING”, or “SMS phishing” are terms used to describe the action of fraudsters sending text messages to mobile phones. Their aim is to get the phone user to click on a link and then either give away their private data or download malicious software. SMShing is on the increase and at this time of year people are particularly vulnerable to clicking on a link that looks like it’s come from a courier delivering a parcel.
