The new wave of delivery scams comes by phone, not by text
Instead of a link, the caller talks the victim into opening their own banking app.
The method has changed. It used to be about getting you to tap a link; now a caller with a convincing number asks you to open your own banking app while they stay on the line.
That shift walks around the filters. Link blocking at network level cannot stop a phone call.
Manufacturers tend not to comment on this sort of thing. By now the silence counts as information too.
How it works now
Independent tests are run in laboratory conditions. In everyday use the picture is a little more honest.
On security the rule has not moved: the weak link is never the software, it is the user in a hurry.
How to avoid it
What decides how fast this spreads is not the technology but how long older handsets keep getting updates.
The one practical rule has not changed: nobody on a phone call will ever need you to open an app, read out a code or approve something. If they ask, hang up and ring the bank yourself.
