Attackers are using “wrong-number” texts to identify potential targets for scams, according to researchers at Malwarebytes.

These texts appear to be harmless messages meant for another person, such as “Are we still on for dinner tomorrow?” or “Where’s the PowerPoint?” Recipients often try to be helpful by replying to let the person know they’ve got the wrong number. This reply, however, informs the threat actor that the phone number is active and marks it for future scams.

A new phishing platform called “JWR” gives attackers real-time control over social engineering attacks, according to researchers at Cisco Talos. The kit livestreams the phishing page to the attacker as the victim is entering information, allowing the attacker to steer the victim’s experience and maximize the damage.
