Smishing
Similar to phishing, this cyberattack is a text or SMS message on your phone, looking to access data or get you to take harmful actions.
77% of businesses surveyed believe AI-assisted attacks like deepfakes and SMS phishing are likely to succeed**
Ransomware
In a ransomware attack, hackers block access to a computer system, encrypted files and critical data. Then they demand a ransom in exchange for a decryption key.

Vishing
Criminals use mobile phone calls known as “vishing” or voice phishing to steal information and money. With vishing, recorded voices or live callers ask for personal data over the phone—and robocalls are the most common form.
Just how common is vishing? U.S. consumers receive more than 4 billion robocalls a month.† That could be a real risk for your business.
