How an SMS phishing attack works.
This victim gave up the code for their own bank account.

@fifonetworks @DialMforMara you use victim in a very negative way here. please don't. also making fun of people's mistakes, much wow!

@knittingsquirrel @fifonetworks I don't think this is making fun, so much as educating about a basic mistake that anyone can (and should not) make. You don't trust people you don't know with your bank codes, even if they say they know you.

Also, what's a positive way to use "victim"? I think it's actually euphemistic here--a "negative" usage would be to call this poor person complicit in the theft of their own identity. Which we obviously don't want to do.
