In this podcast episode, Last Watchdog spoke with Arkose Labs CEO Kevin Gosschalk about the mechanics and rising prevalence of SMS toll fraud, a scheme where fraudsters pose as phone company affiliates in countries like Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, then use bots to trigger mass account-signup SMS messages that generate revenue-share fees. Gosschalk explained that the fraud typically goes undetected until businesses receive unexpectedly high phone bills. He outlined how Arkose Labs works to neutralize these bot-driven attacks before costs spiral.
