Subject: FCC Proposes $116 Million Fine For Scheme Mixing
Robocalling, Traffic Pumping, And Attacks On Phone Systems
by J. Tyson Covey - July 27, 2022
In its latest salvo to combat illegal robocalling, the FCC proposed a
$116 million fine for an alleged scheme mixing robocalling with
traffic pumping to fund telephone denial of service attacks (TDoS)
against other companies. In the Matter of Thomas Dorsher, ChariTel
Inc., Ontel Inc., and ScammerBlaster Inc., Notice of Apparent
Liability, FCC 22-57 (rel. July 14, 2022). The alleged scheme at issue
involved Thomas Dorsher, ChariTel Inc., Ontel Inc., and ScammerBlaster
Inc.
As the FCC described it, in a two-month period at the start of 2021,
ChariTel made about 10 million prerecorded voice message calls
(robocalls) to toll free numbers without the recipients' consent. If
the recipient did not terminate the call, these robocalls would play
the prerecorded message continuously for up to 10 hours, effectively
taking a line out of service and costing the toll free service
provider an opportunity to talk to actual customers on that
line. Ironically, the robocalls at issue purported to be public
service announcements to warn against scam calls, and encouraged
recipients to report such calls.

Subject: Vodafone & Deutsche Telekom to introduce persistent user
tracking
July 22, 2022
Vodafone & Deutsche Telekom recently started trials with Trustpid to
reintroduce persistent user tracking.
Network operators are a vital part of transmitting data traffic on the
internet. In this process, the data is sent largely untouched. This is
about to change as Vodafone & Deutsche Telekom are tapping into ways
to monetize these data streams.
They have recently started a trial to test new ways of marketing
customer data in collaboration with Trustpid.

The phrase "Burner Phone" is no longer limited to TV shows and crime
novels. If I were doing /ANYTHING/ that the ghost of J Edgar Hoover
might not approve of, I'd make it my business to have two or three of
them around.
