What is SMS Toll Fraud
SMS toll fraud, also known as SMS pumping, is an increasingly popular cyberattack where scammers exploit account registration, two-factor authentication (2FA) and similar systems to send a high volume of SMS messages to premium-rate numbers. This results in fraudulent SMS charges for the business. The attackers then share the profits, leaving the business to cover the costs – which typically go unnoticed until the scammers are long gone and significant damage has occurred.
How Arkose Labs addresses SMS Toll Fraud
Detecting SMS pumping attacks is challenging because fraudsters exploit the very tools designed to protect your business – OTP verifications through SMS text messages intended to confirm legitimate users during account registration – to siphon off funds right under your nose.
Arkose Labs helps organizations save money and improve ROI by detecting bogus account sign-ups from the outset, preventing attackers from triggering SMS text messages to suspicious numbers.
