Rock phishing is a type of phishing scheme that uses text messages or other short message systems to dupe an individual or business into providing sensitive data.

• A. True
• B. It uses voice calls instead of texts
• C. False
• D. It uses postal mail campaigns

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is the terminology used for phishing by channel. There isn’t a recognized category called “rock phishing.” When attackers use text messages to lure people into revealing sensitive data, that is known as smishing. If the tactic is carried out by voice calls, it’s vishing; using postal mail would be a mail-based phishing attempt. So the statement is false because the correct term for SMS-based phishing is smishing, not rock phishing.
