Abstract:
In an ever-shrinking market of brand-new cellular customers, wireless providers are increasing port in incentives on devices and services in order to gain a competitive advantage. This has created opportunity for enterprising individuals who have discovered the ability to commodify phone numbers, allowing buyers to take advantage of port in offers. In this presentation, we will discuss the reasons demand in this new market has emerged, how phone numbers are acquired and sold, and the impacts to the wireless carriers.
Time: 11:00am Eastern/4:00pm GMT
Facilitator: Brad Reaves, North Carolina State University
Abstract:
Unsolicited calls are one of the most prominent security issues facing individuals today. Despite wide-spread anecdotal discussion of the problem, many important questions remain unanswered. In this paper, we present the first largescale, longitudinal analysis of unsolicited calls to a honeypot of up to 66,606 lines over 11 months. From call metadata we characterize the long-term trends of unsolicited calls, develop the first techniques to measure voicemail spam, wangiri attacks, and identify unexplained high-volume call incidences. Additionally, we mechanically answer a subset of the call attempts we receive to cluster related calls into operational campaigns, allowing us to characterize how these campaigns use telephone numbers. Critically, we find no evidence that answering unsolicited calls increases the amount of unsolicited calls received, overturning popular wisdom. We also find that we can reliably isolate individual call campaigns, in the process revealing the extent of two distinct Social Security scams while empirically demonstrating the majority of campaigns rarely reuse phone numbers. These analyses comprise powerful new tools and perspectives for researchers, investigators, and a beleaguered public.

Abstract:
Tackling Telecoms Subscription Fraud in a Digital World
The world is increasingly going digital and the COVID crisis is contributing to accelerating this reality across different industries and geos. According to FICO’s 2020 Digital Consumer Survey, 74% of UK consumers would take out a mobile telephone contract digitally. This number is higher than the 70% who would open a credit card account online.
In the Telecoms fraud landscape, subscription fraud is the biggest focus, as reported by 91% of operators who responded to TM Forum’s Report on Fraud in the Digital Experience Era. In addition, 48% say that digital identity theft has a major impact on fraud management and another 29% say it’s increasing.
How are you dealing with this challenge? Join FICO and CFCA for this complimentary webinar and learn how to:
- Uncover up to 50% more subscription fraud with powerful analytics
- Define the different subscription fraud types to apply the best action
