Pop quiz: How many times has someone tried to scam you today? Beyond the spammy emails and phone calls, take a look at your texts. Chances are, there are a few scam text messages mixed in—and you weren’t sure if some of them were legitimate messages or not. As we change the way we use technology (nope, not answering an actual call!), scam texts are becoming cybercriminals’ preferred mode of attack. In fact, spam texts now surpass spam calls in frequency, and since March 2024 alone, Americans received 19.2 billion of them, according to a study by SlickText. Even worse? The FTC reports that people lost $10 billion to these so-called smishing scams in 2023.

Recently, I received a letter in the mail stating that my local hospital system’s online portal had a data breach. In other words, cybercriminals had hacked into it and accessed certain information stored in the system. The letter told me not to worry: The hackers didn’t get credit card info, dates of birth or Social Security numbers. The only thing they might have gotten is my email address.
