Bleeping Computer reported:
US cities are warning of an ongoing mobile phishing campaign pretending to be texts from the city's parking violation departments about unpaid parking invoices, that if unpaid, will incur an additional $35 fine per day.
....the scammers use an open redirect on Google.com to redirect users to a phishing site named after the city it is impersonating. For example, the phishing site for New York City is nycparkclient[.]com.
As Google.com is a trusted domain, Apple iMessage does not disable the link, so using the company's open redirect makes it easier to trick unsuspecting users into clicking on the link by mistake.
