Verizon Cell Phone user be ware new SMiShing Campaign

A recent SMS text message phishing (SMiShing) campaign is targeting Verizon Wireless customers and customers of other providers that piggyback off the Verizon network, such as Spectrum . These messages are spoofed to appear as though the message was sent from the recipient’s own phone number. The messages vary but typically thank the recipient for paying their bill and offer a gift. The messages include a link to accept the gift. These links may lead to malicious websites intending to steal account credentials or personal information, or install malware. A similar campaign targeted AT&T customers in August 2021.
