    Smishing is a phishing cybersecurity attack carried out over mobile text messaging. It’s also known as SMS phishing.

    I had never heard that term before. Is it just a UKism, or am I one of today’s lucky 10,000?

      Not just UK. It’s a stupid term that organizations use in cybersecurity trainings but no one else uses.
