New Tactics in SMS Scams

Recent developments indicate that scammers are now targeting Amazon Web Services' Simple Notification Service (SNS) to send fraudulent SMS messages impersonating the United States Postal Service. This shift in tactics comes as companies like Twilio have implemented stricter regulations on mass messaging, making compromised accounts less valuable. The transition to AWS SNS suggests a strategic move by malicious actors to exploit alternative platforms for delivering deceptive messages. Users should remain vigilant to these unsolicited messages, as they frequently attempt to trick recipients into revealing personal information.
