UK bank customers should be extra careful after a new wave of 'smishing' attacks has seen data thieves drain thousands of pounds from current accounts.
One customer lost over £20,000 from his current account after fraudsters managed to 'hijack' a text message thread, claiming to be from Santander, and saying that there had been suspicious activity on his account. Mr Smith called the number and spoke to fraudsters who asked him for a 'one-time password' and wiped out £22,700 from his account.
