SMS Phishing | Mimi Bebe

SMS phishing, commonly known as 'smishing,' is a type of cybercrime where malicious actors use text messages to deceive individuals into divulging sensitive personal information or downloading malware. These messages often impersonate legitimate organizations, such as banks, delivery services, or government agencies, to gain trust. Smishing attacks have surged in prevalence, becoming a primary vector for cybercriminals seeking to steal credentials, financial data, or personal identifiers. Attackers leverage social engineering tactics, creating a sense of urgency or curiosity to prompt victims into clicking malicious links or responding with personal details, bypassing traditional security measures and exploiting human psychology.
