What communities / forums discuss #PhoneSpam? I'm looking for serious discussion on telemarketing, robocalls, AI calls, and unsolicited voice or text comms generally. Here on the Fediverse or elsewhere. I'm aware that the #FCC has / has had several recent rulemaking requests for comment. I'm afraid I've missed most such windows. I'd like to know what's being tried, successfully or otherwise, throughout the world. The problem seems severe in the US presently, but I suspect it's growing elsewhere. AI will all but certainly open new avenues for abuse. What hashtags are being used for discussion? Are there any Fediverse groups formed on the topic? Reboosts greatly appreciated. DM if you prefer, though I'd generally appreciate an open thread. #robocalls #telemarketing #vishing #smishing #AISpam

Smishing is treated as an inbox problem. It isn't. The text can look ordinary. The abuse is in how the message is injected: sender identity spoofed over SS7, A2P grey routes slipping past the SMSC. A content filter reads the words, never the origin or route. Catching SMS fraud at scale needs signalling-layer visibility, not better wordlists. https://www.p1sec.com/blog/sms-based-attacks-the-hidden-threat-still-exploiting-mobile-networks #TelecomSecurity #SS7 #Smishing

Gefälschte Paket-SMS: Wie ein Betrugs-Netzwerk in China Schutz findet Hunderttausende Opfer gefälschter Paket-SMS gibt es weltweit. Der Schaden geht womöglich in die Milliarden. Recherchen des BR und internationaler Medien belegen: Die Betrüger agieren aus China - und die Volksrepublik lässt sie offenbar gewähren. ➡️ https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/br-recherche/smishing-china-100.html?at_medium=mastodon&at_campaign=tagesschau.de #Smishing #SMS #Paket #China
