Text malware is a type of malware that spreads through SMS messages, social media and email. They are often used as a way to steal personal information from unsuspecting victims.
Some text malwares are also used as a way to make money by showing advertisements or charging for premium services.
The best way to prevent text malwares is to be cautious of any message asking you to click on links or download attachments. It’s always better to err on the side of caution and delete the message instead of opening it up.
