Selected Answer: C
Smishing is a combination of the words "SMS" (Short Message Service) and "phishing." It refers to a type of phishing attack that uses text messages (SMS) to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information or performing certain actions. In this case, the employees are receiving unsolicited text messages containing a password reset link. The intention is to deceive the employees into clicking the link and providing their login credentials or other sensitive information.
