CyberheistNews Vol 16 #36 [Text Alert] Don't Reply to a "Wrong Number." You Will Become a Scam Target

CyberheistNews Vol 16#36 reviews multiple active security threats: scammers use innocuous "wrong-number" SMS as reconnaissance to profile responsive targets; a user was infected via a malicious download and a poisoned SKILL.md file that could silently reinstall malware and exfiltrate credentials; Palo Alto Unit 42 documented Teams-based vishing campaigns that escalate to RMM deployment and NTLM relay attempts against enterprise domains; and researchers warn AI tools are accelerating OSINT-driven, hyper-personalized social engineering. The newsletter links to vendor tools (e.g., NVIDIA SkillSpector) and security training resources and urges auditing of AI agent skills, stronger user education, and defensive controls.
