What differentiates phishing from smishing, and how do scammers adapt tactics for mobile users?
Phishing is a type of cyber attack where scammers use fraudulent emails or messages to trick individuals into providing sensitive information like passwords or credit card details. On the other hand, smishing is a similar scam but occurs through text messages or SMS.
Scammers adapt tactics for mobile users by sending text messages with links to fake websites or requesting sensitive information through SMS. They may also use social engineering techniques to create urgency or fear to prompt immediate action from the mobile user.
