  "bluf": "MITRE ATT&CK T1496.003 (SMS Pumping) is an Enterprise Impact sub-technique of T1496 (Resource Hijacking). Adversaries may leverage messaging services for SMS pumping, which may impact system and/or hosted service availability. SMS pumping is a type of telecommunications fraud whereby a threat actor first obtains a set of phone numbers from a telecommunications provider, then leverages a victim's messaging infrastructure to send large amounts of SMS messages to numbers in that set. By generating SMS traffic to their phone number set, a threat actor may earn payments from the telecommunications provider. Affected platforms: SaaS. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1013 Application Developer Guidance. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense maps this technique to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls SC-05.",
