Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a word scramble with these letters:
I, G, M, S, S, N, H, I
And the hint says:
> “This phishing scam targets you through text messages.”
That means we’re looking for a word that describes a type of scam done via
text message.
You might know that:
- Phishing = fake emails to steal info
- Smishing = phishing via
SMS (text messages)
- Vishing = phishing via voice calls
So the word we’re looking for is likely
“SMISHING” — which is phishing through SMS/texts.
Now let’s check if we can make “SMISHING” from the scrambled letters:
Letters in “SMISHING”:
S, M, I, S, H, I, N, G → That’s 8 letters.
Our scrambled letters:
I, G, M, S, S, N, H, I → Also 8 letters.
Let’s match them:
- S
✔ (we have two S’s)
- M
✔
- I
✔ (we have two I’s)
- S
✔ (second S)
- H
✔
- I
✔ (second I)
- N
✔
- G
✔
Perfect! All letters match.
Also, the hint confirms it: “targets you through text messages” → that’s exactly what smishing is.
Final Answer:
SMISHING
