Johnson will join an expert panel discussion, "Don't Click That Link! The State of Spam," alongside representatives from the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") and AT&T. The conversation will explore the sophisticated tactics employed by robotext scammers and the proactive measures that can be utilized to stop scams before they reach consumers.
Dr. Bradley Reaves, an Associate Professor at North Carolina State University, security expert, and repeat guest of Numeracle's Tuesday Talks identity management podcast, illuminates the escalating threat of robotexts, explaining, "The rise of SMS phishing, fueled by the lack of caller ID in text messaging, makes it difficult to verify if messages are from legitimate sources or scammers. This anonymity, coupled with the low cost of executing these scams, makes them increasingly appealing to fraudsters, posing a significant problem for the telecom sector."
Moderated by Steven Overly, Host of POLITICO Tech at POLITICO, the panel features:
· Rebekah Johnson, Founder & CEO, Numeracle
· Alejandro Roark, Bureau Chief, FCC
· Amanda Potter, Assistant Vice President & Senior Legal Counsel, AT&T
"The security risks we're seeing are frankly alarming. Every rogue text message has the potential to be a Trojan horse, compromising consumers' personal information. It's not just about inconvenience anymore; it's about real people, their lives, and their data at stake," explains Johnson. "As new rulemaking around text blocking is considered, it's critical we apply the lessons learned from voice fraud to apply KYC principles to prevent abusive access to the technology in the first place."
