       Had someone at $work refer to SMS phishing as  'smishing'. No, we're not going to make that a term. Just no.

       @splatt9990 it’s already a term. Smishing is a common term in InfoSec.

       @kev @splatt9990 I have received many text messages that look really legit from the IRS and from Citibank and it crushes me that someone will click on those links and bad things will happen. This is why you can't auto download mms messages or do link previews, either. Bastards won't let us have nice things.

       @kev whhyyyyyy?! Who looked at that term and said, "yeah, this makes sense as a term for professionals to use". It sounds like something incredibly unsavory emerging from the horrible depths of urban dictionary
