Smishing is a cyber assault that utilizes SMS text messages to delude its victims into giving sensitive data to a cybercriminal. Sensitive data incorporates your account name and password, name, banking account, or credit card numbers. The cybercriminal may likewise implant a short URL link into the text message, inviting the client to tap on the link which in most cases is a redirect to a pernicious site. Smishing is identified with two other ‘smishing’ cyber assaults, phishing and vishing.
