Shine a light on smishing attacks by reporting suspicious messages

Social engineers actively use smishing to trick people into divulging sensitive information, clicking on malicious links, or giving up credentials.

These SMS-based attacks have the same goals as traditional phishing emails, yet many organizations lack a simple, efficient way to report these messages, leaving a major gap in their defense.

Security admins need to see what smishing messages target their employees to effectively respond to these threats.

Users must be activated to report suspicious messages to their security team.

The Hoxhunt iOS is the perfect solution to report smishing attacks.

The app helps increase visibility of threats targeting an organization and shows how readily employees report suspicious text messages.

The app allows users to easily report suspicious text messages through the native iOS reporting flow.
