 New word for me here, maybe for you guys as well, smishing. Have you heard the term smishing before? No. You're not like Steve Carney phishing, but phishing attacks? I know why they probably say that, because it's probably coming through SMS, which is a.k.a. text message. You are a smart cookie. Another day, another privacy concern. A smishing attack could target your iPhone. Smishing is a term used for phishing attacks sent via text message. They appear to try to get users' Apple ID logins.
