In computing, Smishing is a form of criminal activity using social engineering techniques similar to phishing. The name is derived from "SMs phISHING".

在計(jì)算機(jī)領(lǐng)域，smishing（短信詐騙）是指用類似于網(wǎng)絡(luò)釣魚的社會工程學(xué)技術(shù)實(shí)施犯罪行為的一種形式，這個(gè)名字來源于SMs phishing（短信息服務(wù)詐騙）。

Similar to phishing, smishing uses cell phone text messages to deliver the "bait" to get you to divulge your personal information. The "hook" (the method used to actually "capture" your information) in the text message may be a web site URL, however it has become more common to see a phone number that connects to automated voice response system, similar to the voice response systems used by many financial institutions, which will ask for your ATM card PIN, email address, and other personal information.

與網(wǎng)絡(luò)釣魚方式類似，短信詐騙通過手機(jī)文字信息放“餌”以誘使你泄露個(gè)人信息。詐騙信息中的“鉤”（也就是用來引出個(gè)人信息的方法）可能是一個(gè)網(wǎng)站的鏈接地址，不過更常見的是在信息中放入一個(gè)連接到自動語音應(yīng)答系統(tǒng)的電話號碼，這個(gè)應(yīng)答系統(tǒng)與很多金融機(jī)構(gòu)的很像，會詢問你的ATM卡密碼、電子郵件地址以及其他個(gè)人信息。

This is an example of a (complete) smishing message in current circulation: "Notice - this is an automated message from (a local credit union), your ATM card has been suspended. To reactivate call urgent at 866-###-####."

目前廣泛傳播的一個(gè)詐騙短信是這樣的：“注意——這是來自于（某當(dāng)?shù)匦庞每C(jī)構(gòu)）的一條自動信息，你的ATM卡已被暫停使用。重新激活，請撥打緊急號碼866-###-####。”
