A new scam is trying to trick people into giving hackers access to their email accounts.

All the hackers need to know is the victims email address and mobile number.

The attackers make use of the password recovery feature offered by many email providers, which helps users who have forgotten their passwords gain access to their accounts by, among other options, having a verification code sent to their mobile phone.

Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo Mail users are the most targeted.
