Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- If you’ve received a suspicious text message about supposed unpaid tolls, it’s because cybercriminals have registered more than ten-thousand domains for the scam. That’s according to a new report from the threat intelligence arm at the cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks which says those domains were registered for various smishing scams.
Smishing comes from the words “SMS” and “phishing”-it refers to scams that target victims through text messages that try to get them to click a malicious link. The domains identified have names that suggest they’re trying to pose as toll services and package delivery services in at least ten U.S. states and Ontario.
