By now we are all too familiar with phishing attacks. They have received lots of press coverage and are at the heart of many cyberattacks.

In Verizon’s 2020 mobile security index, they found that 15% of enterprise users encountered a smishing link in Q3 2019. In my latest post for Network Solutions’ blog, I demonstrate how these kinds of attacks work, how the criminals have upped their game, and what you can do to protect yourself.
