| 释义 |
In computing, SMS phishing[1] or smishing[2] is a form of criminal[3][4][5] activity using social engineering techniques. Phishing is the act of attempting to acquire personal information such as passwords and details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Short Message Service (SMS) is the technology used for text messages on cell phones.[6] SMS phishing uses cell phone text messages to deliver the bait to induce people to divulge their personal information. As the mobile phone market is now saturated with smartphones which all have fast internet connectivity, a malicious link sent via SMS can yield the same result as it would if sent via email. DetectionMany of the same defences that apply for phishing also apply here. Smishing messages may come from telephone numbers that are in a strange or unexpected format.[7] CasesOn March 9, 2012, Rewe issued a fraud alert regarding a large number of scam texts that offered a nonexistent $1000 gift card as bait.{{Citation needed|date=October 2016}} In June 2018, the County of Orange Social Services Agency (SSA) warned residents of a phone/texting scam that attempts to obtain cardholder information of CalWORKs, CalFresh, and General Relief clients throughout California.[8] References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.belvoircreditunion.org/system/files/336/original/PhishinMembers.pdf |title=Phishing, Smishing, and Vishing: What’s the Difference? |date=August 1, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150401122514/https://www.belvoircreditunion.org/system/files/336/original/PhishinMembers.pdf |archive-date=2015-04-01 |dead-url=yes |website=www.belvoircreditunion.org}} {{mobile-stub}}{{crime-stub}}2. ^[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-35201188 Vishing and smishing: The rise of social engineering fraud], BBC, Marie Keyworth, 2016-01-01 3. ^[https://blogs.mcafee.com/consumer/protect-yourself-from-smishing/ Protect Yourself from “SMiShing”, Robert Siciliano, Feb 22, 2012] 4. ^"SMiShing", The free dictionary by Farlex 5. ^SMiShing, Forrest Stroud 6. ^SMS phishing article at ConsumerAffairs.com 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://us.norton.com/internetsecurity-emerging-threats-what-is-smishing.html |title=What is Smishing? |publisher=Symantec Corporation |accessdate=18 October 2018}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.oc-breeze.com/2018/06/26/123316_county-of-orange-social-services-agency-warns-of-sms-text-phishing-phone-scam/|title=County of Orange Social Services Agency warns of SMS text phishing/phone scam {{!}} Orange County Breeze|date=2018-06-26|work=Orange County Breeze|access-date=2018-08-24|language=en-US}} 3 : Social engineering (computer security)|Mobile phones|Text messaging |
