The New Toll Smishing Scam

Introduction

There are new scams and phishing attacks being used every day. Bad actors try to find easier ways to make people click malicious phishing links. They try to find something that many people use and pose as the business asking for information or demanding some sort of action be taken. In this social engineering attack, they will use some sort of email, text message, or phone call in order to fool you. Sometimes, these are used in security awareness training as well, making sure that people know what to look for.

The latest phishing scam involves the tolling company E-ZPass, informing the potential victim that they have some sort of fee that needs to be paid. They will refer to some sort of past-due fee or a companion fee, followed by a link that might look legitimate. This link will certainly lead you to a dangerous website that might steal information or install something malicious on your device.
