Cyber Directorate warns of fake Home Front message that links to app in phishing attempt

The National Cyber Directorate says that some Israelis received messages this morning purporting to be from the Home Front Command but that are in fact a phishing attempt.

Phishing is the use of ads, emails or text messages that trick a person into clicking a link to websites that look legitimate.

The directorate says the SMS contains a link to download an app that could be used to steal personal information.
