Arsen Launches Smishing Simulation to Help Companies Defend Against Mobile Phishing Threats

2025/10/26 20:15

Paris, France, October 24th, 2025/CyberNewsWire/--Arsen, the cybersecurity company dedicated to helping organizations defend against social engineering, today introduced its new Smishing Simulation module: a feature designed to let companies run realistic, large-scale SMS phishing simulations across their teams.

Designed to address the growing wave of mobile-based attacks, the new module gives CISOs, MSSPs, and risk officers a practical way to assess exposure and train employees to spot and respond to malicious SMS messages.

Realistic Training for a Rising Threat Vector

Smishing (phishing attacks delivered via text messages) is rapidly becoming one of the most common social engineering tactics, targeting users on both professional and personal devices. Arsen’s Smishing Simulation allows organizations to:

  • Deploy SMS-based attacks at scale using pre-built or customized scenarios
  • Track behavior and response rates across different employee groups
  • Train users in a controlled, safe, and realistic environment

Smishing Simulation: Built on Arsen’s Battle-Tested Platform

Clients benefit from Arsen’s cutting-edge infrastructure, already trusted for advanced phishing and vishing simulations.

Arsen’s new Smishing Simulation gives security teams a practical way to test how employees react to SMS-based phishing attempts. Rather than relying on theory, it lets companies create and send their own text-message campaigns safely, at scale.

The tool includes:

  • Customizable scenarios with control over content, domains, and link shorteners
  • Optional AI features to make messages feel authentic and context-aware
  • A straightforward interface that speeds up setup and simplifies reporting
  • Secure landing pages protected by an integrated web application firewall

The module runs on the same infrastructure that already powers Arsen’s phishing and vishing simulations. In practice, that means the same campaign logic, reporting accuracy, and reliability; now applied to the mobile environment.

Raising the Standard for Mobile Threat Awareness

After months of testing with early adopters, Arsen’s Smishing Simulation is now open to all customers. First rolled out in the summer of 2025, the tool can be used on its own or paired with the rest of Arsen’s social engineering defense suite.

With this addition, Arsen’s clients can measure their true exposure to mobile phishing, replacing guesswork with concrete insights.

Metaplanet Announces ¥75B Share Buyback Program to Strengthen Bitcoin Strategy

The post Metaplanet Announces ¥75B Share Buyback Program to Strengthen Bitcoin Strategy appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Metaplanet, widely known as “Japan’s MicroStrategy”, has taken a major step forward in its long-term strategy by launching a 75 billion JPY share repurchase program.  This comes after the company faced a setback with a decline in its mNAV, and aims to make better use of capital and boost returns for shareholders. Metaplanet has formulated a new Capital Allocation Policy to guide financing, investment, and shareholder return decisions. The policy emphasizes disciplined use of preferred and common shares to maximize BTC Yield and long-term corporate value. https://t.co/lMrFJsc9xD— Simon Gerovich (@gerovich) October 28, 2025 Why Metaplanet Is Buying Back Its Own Shares  In its latest disclosure, Metaplanet noted that recent market volatility and a decline in its mNAV have led to its stock being undervalued.  The mNAV compares the company’s enterprise value to the market value of its Bitcoin holdings. When it falls below 1.0x, the company’s shares are seen as trading below their fair value based on BTC reserves.  To address this, Metaplanet launched a capital management plan designed to maximize BTC yield and improve capital efficiency.  Metaplanet’s stock is currently trading at 499 JPY, up 2.5% over the past day and roughly 18% over the last five days. Its mNAV has also recovered to 1.03 as of the time of writing. The buyback program will cover up to 150 million common shares, representing about 13.13% of its total outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares. It will run from October 29, 2025, to October 28, 2026 and buybacks will be conducted through purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under a discretionary trading agreement. $500M Credit Line Announced In order to give the company more flexibility in carrying out the repurchase program, the board has also approved a credit facility with a borrowing limit of up to USD 500 million (around JPY 76.4 billion). This allows the company to secure funds using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral whenever needed. The funds raised could be used for additional Bitcoin purchases, investments in its Bitcoin Income business, or share buybacks.  The credit line also plays a major role in the Company’s financial strategy and is expected to serve as bridge financing ahead of its planned issuance of preference shares.  Metaplanet’s Bitcoin-Centric Capital Strategy Metaplanet has also adopted an updated Capital Allocation Policy designed to maximize sustainable value creation. It will be guided by three fundamental principles. Since April 2025, the company has expanded its Bitcoin Treasury Strategy, now holding 30,823 BTC, making it the fourth-largest public Bitcoin holder globally and the largest in Asia.  The company is also committed to its long-term goal of acquiring 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. Despite what appears to have been a setback, Metaplanet continues to show strong conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
