smishing is such a stupid term -- this is the kind of nonsense they invent and then test for on CompTIA et al cert exams

I found out about smishing and vishing from some mandatory security training at work.

It’s all just phishing to me, I don’t get the need for all the other terms.

In my day, we called it lying!

> It’s all just phishing to me, I don’t get the need for all the other terms.

A. Someone wants to feel important, and write a book about it. "Read my linkedin post bout vishing... hire me for your workshop"

B. Someone is trying to highten job security. "You cant get rid of me I am the vishing expert"
