Smishing: A Growing Cybersecurity Threat
February 16, 2017
On our recently released Legal Talk Network Digital Detectives podcast, John and I had the pleasure of interviewing Joe Hamblin, Director of IT Operations for Sprint's Emerging Platforms. We have found for some time that the lawyers we generally lecture to have no concept of what smishing is.
As Joe explains, it is phishing via texting. Just like everyone who is reading this blog post is no doubt receiving more spam phone calls on their smartphones, the use of smishing is also growing. Smishing is a problem for individual users and for businesses.
For a crash course in smishing and how to help prevent its damaging fallout, Joe does a nice job of educating our podcast listeners. Thanks for taking the time to do the podcast Joe!
