   "Smishing" -- a term used to describe phishing via SMS -- never seemed to really catch on as a phrase that security people use in normal conversation. Maybe because the speaker feels a little silly uttering what is essentially a term used by people selling security solutions, IDK.

   I feel the same way about the portmanteau "Quishing," which is apparently what some are now calling phishing via QRcode.

     @briankrebs Quishing? QUISHING?! I know we're all a bunch of silly billies, but that's too far.
