Text message about viruses on your smartphone
Date
Multiple people at UVA have reported that they have received a text message that looks something like the one below.
This is "smishing" - it's like "phishing" but over SMS text so it's called "smishing"
So treat it like a phishing email - Don't click on the link.
Notice the weird writing, such as putting parenthesis around the "3" and not making "virus" plural.
The link is a odd as well, not a well-known link shortener, and if you hovered on it, it doesn't go where it states.
So ignore this text!
