What is SMS phishing, or smishing?
SMS phishing, also known as smishing, is a technique attackers use to lure their targets into an action that compromises the organisation's infrastructure. The message lands on the phone, often a personal one, where vigilance is lower than in front of a work inbox.
SMS offers the attacker two advantages: it is short, so it leaves no room for the clues that usually give away a fraudulent email, and it is read almost immediately. A shortened link looks normal there, where it would raise doubt elsewhere.
To help you run your awareness campaign, we built into the BlueSecure platform a tool for scheduling SMS phishing campaigns and analysing the results.
How the attack unfolds
The attacker sends a message carrying a malicious link. The target opens the SMS and clicks, granting access to sensitive data. That data then serves the attacker: identity theft, diverted payment, access to a work account. Training your teams means breaking that chain at the first link, the only one the user still controls.

- One click, and access to sensitive data
- Exploitation: identity or money stolen

Frequently asked questions
- Who are SMS phishing campaigns for?
- Every employee with a work phone number. That is the natural perimeter for this channel, and it often overlaps with the most mobile populations, therefore the most exposed.
- Why raise awareness of SMS specifically?
- Because reflexes learned on email do not transfer by themselves. Someone careful in front of their inbox can click without thinking on a link received by SMS, simply because the context feels personal rather than professional.
- Can the scenarios be customised?
- Yes, several scenarios are available and fully customisable. You edit the landing page as well as the training page shown to people who are caught.
- How are target lists built?
- From an Excel file or by synchronising with your Active Directory. You then schedule the campaign whenever you choose and follow the statistics in real time.
- Is the solution GDPR compliant?
- We apply a personal data protection policy in line with GDPR principles. Privacy impact assessments are carried out regularly to maintain a high level of data security day to day. Our AFNOR-certified DPO oversees ongoing compliance, in particular data minimisation and respect for individual rights.
