Exploring Package Tracking Smishing Scams | Huntress

Smishing, or SMS-based phishing attacks, occurs more frequently during the holiday season. The article provides guidance on recognizing and avoiding these scams that impersonate package tracking notifications.

Why it matters: All employees and users are vulnerable to holiday-season smishing attacks that can compromise credentials or install malware; security teams should educate staff to verify shipping notifications through official carrier channels rather than clicking links in unsolicited texts.
