    You build a 10 foot high wall, they will build an 11 foot ladder. Stir/shaken was good for like 6 months before spam callers were able to bypass that security measure.

        I’ve been saying for years now that providers should try converting to cert based auth. You get issued a cert with a private key from the provider. You are the only one who can use that number and authenticate to the network with that number.

      STIR/SHAKEN had yet to be fully implemented, so while most carriers are now signing calls, almost none are taking action against unsigned calls.

      I have hope that it will become a useful tool in the future for blocking spam and even bad carriers who are signing anything and everything.
