New Smishing activity was on the typical to low side with targeted campaigns for Bank of America, Wells Fargo (multiple campaigns), Chase, Bank of Montreal (Canada), Natwest (UK) and Barclays (UK), Vishing however continued to pick up. 

Two numbers were particularly active (8888931773, 8885030711) impersonating Suntrust (8888931773), EECU Credit Union (8885030711) and Texans Credit Union (8885030711). Recipients of these calls were informed about their Debit or Credit card accounts being blocked and prompted for their card credentials via IVR.
