Industry Brief Details Expanding SMS Fraud Problem on Service Provider Networks
PISCATAWAY, N.J. 鈥 February 23, 2017 鈥 无忧短视频, an authoritative partner of the global communications industry connecting more than two billion people every day, today released a financially pertinent market brief, Defense Solutions for the Modern SMS Ecosystem, on costly SMS fraud threats currently plaguing service provider networks. As detailed in the publication, service providers are often chronically afflicted by several types of SMS fraud including: phishing scams, A2P鈥榞rey route鈥 fraud, and spoofing. When combined, these types of fraudulent messaging can prove costly for service providers, as threats often lead to an immediate loss of revenue. According to the Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA), it is estimated that the industry experiences an estimated $4.3 billion in annual losses due to SMS-related fraud. Additionally, network subscribers often receive unwanted and harmful messages, which further shrink profitability when increased customer dissatisfaction leads to increased user account cancelations.
