A mobile phishing campaign targeted customers of more than a dozen North American banks, including Chase, Royal Bank of Canada and TD Bank. The attacks used an automated SMS tool to blast bogus security text messages to mobile phone users between June and last month. Victims were sent text messages claiming that their bank detected suspicious activity tied to their account. The SMS-based messages each included a link to one of over 200 phishing pages. Over the course of the seven-month campaign, researchers said, over 3,900 unique IP addresses logged into one of the adversaries servers.
