Smishing feed
The Smishing feed works exactly the same as the SMS Scam feed except that the fraudulent activity utilizes smishing—a social engineering attack that uses fake mobile text messages to trick people into downloading malware, sharing sensitive information, or sending money to cybercriminals. The feed can be used for unique threat intelligence, targeted incident response, further research, employee awareness, and system protection.
ESET ensures compatibility through using standards like TAXII 2.1 and STIX 2.1, which make the ESET threat intelligence data easily consumable across various TIP, XDR/EDR, SIEM, SOAR, and firewalls. Each of these feeds is created in near real time, and deduplication happens every 24 hours.
Smishing feed mainly utilizes the following STIX 2.1 SDO, SRO and SCO objects and related metadata:
Example data is directly available inside the ESET Threat Intelligence portal. To use the portal without the license in Demo mode, follow the steps in the Get started guide to create an account. Additionally, see the Demo mode topic.
