Awareness of smishing among smartphone users Japan 2022

Published by Statista Research Department, Jun 24, 2024
According to a survey conducted in December 2022, 63.5 percent of smartphone users in Japan neither knew the term nor the meaning of smishing. The term is a portmanteau of "SMS" and "phishing." It refers to a form of online fraud in which a legitimate source is impersonated in order to gain sensitive information. Unlike phishing, however, smishing involves simple text messages instead of e-mails.
