VoIP phishing scam

New species of phish spotted.

A new variety of phishing scam was spotted last month: VoIP phishing. Instead of coercing victims into entering their confidential details on a fake website as ‘traditional’ phishing scams do, the new type of attack cons victims into providing their information on a fake customer support number. To date, however, only a small number of the VoIP-style phishing attacks have been reported.
