Their have been reports of a Phishing scam affecting various cell phone networks including AT&T which the iPhone is on. The Phishing expedition is conducted using text messaging. Users are told to call a number to solve a problem with their account, their credit card information is then harvested. Users should be aware that phishing can take place using traditional means and non-traditional means. We have become used to not responding to email but this is another vector of attack to steal information.
Users have to remember that just like phone calls and email, text messaging is a means to an end for an attacker. Administrators should remind users regularly about communication trends and common best practices used for any communication, regardless of method.
