After clicking a link in a text message claiming that your account was locked and a password reset was required, you discover that your password has been compromised. This scenario is an example of which specific type of social-engineering attack?
Smishing
Vishing
Watering hole
Pretexting
Smishing-also called SMS phishing-delivers a fraudulent message via text. Victims are prompted to click a malicious link or contact the attacker, just as in email phishing, but the medium is SMS. Vishing relies on voice calls, watering-hole attacks compromise frequently visited websites, and pretexting involves creating a false identity to elicit information.
