We’ve all seen spam texts, but this one has a new trick

Hello folks,

We’ve seen the spam texts claiming that we are to win a free gift since we’ve paid our bill. Usually, they come as texts messages to us, and from what I’ve seen, they aren’t so bad as they just seem to ask for information.

komando.com is now indicating that this may be changing. I’ve seen a few group texts of the same type, and they were sent to a bunch of numbers in the same prefix in my case.

This group thing, according to komando.com will apparently send you links with potential malware.

I’m not sure if it is IOS or Android malware, my hunch is that it would be Android, but then again, it could be both like Pegasus has been.

For full details, I urge everyone to read the article New spam text can’t be blocked – Here’s how to protect yourself and be aware of what you might get.

Thanks so much for reading, and hope you find this of value!
