Phishing (Email), Smishing (SMS/Text Messages), and Vishing (Voice) are all standard industry terms, though obviously phishing is most well known.

Then there's even subcategories that further define some of these, like Spear Phishing, Whaling.

The industry loves its fun naming.

"Phishing" isn't limited to email

That’s lucky. Putting ‘ishing’ on the end of something email related doesn’t work very well.

Never heard of vishing. I’m in the industry.

[saithound]

Wrong industry. It is primarily the "sell anti-phishing training to enterprise employees" industry that uses these terms.

I was worked in an anti Phishing / brand protection firm back in 2012 and we had Vishing and Smishing terminology baked in the to projects back then.

Why is it not emishing with email?

> Smishing

uh that's something completely different (and not Monty Python)
