Unraveling the U.S. Toll Road Smishing Scams

    Date: 04/15/2025

    Severity: High

    Summary

    Since mid-October 2024, ongoing smishing campaigns  have impersonated U.S. toll road payment services like  E-ZPass  in an effort to commit financial fraud. Attackers have targeted individuals across at least eight U.S. states—including Washington, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Illinois, and Kansas—using  spoofed domains  with state abbreviations embedded in the URLs. Victims receive SMS messages claiming they owe a small toll balance (under $5)  and are urged to pay promptly to avoid late fees. These messages redirect users to phishing sites  designed to steal payment information.
