Some people on LinkedIn messaged me in posts about a surge in SMS-based phishing attacks against people in the Boston area spoofing the local toll company EZDriveMA.

I replied that it was probably our friend Chunlun from mainland China, who's been selling phishing kits targeting postal services in dozens of countries, as well as toll providers in specific countries and US states.

Turns out I was right: The Chenlun SMS phishing group recently updated their Telegram sales channel with a new module that tells people they will be fined if they don't pay an outstanding toll charge.
