You build a 10 foot high wall, they will build an 11 foot ladder. Stir/shaken was good for like 6 months before spam callers were able to bypass that security measure.
If only the phone system in the US, like the rest of the modern world, had robust authentication. It’s all a bit hacked together, much like the solution.
I've been saying for years now that providers should try converting to cert based auth. You get issued a cert with a private key from the provider. You are the only one who can use that number and authenticate to the network with that number.
Need to figure out a way to go after posters soliciting this kind of coders in the USA on rentacoder sites, but then there’s the poor coders from other countries who will do it for a few cents on the dollar.
Yeah, same. I'll fuckin' believe it when I see it. Can't tell you how many times I have people tell me about the national do-not-call list as if I haven't been on it already for a decade and scammers and spammers don't respect it anyway and are unpunished for ignoring it.
