Case Study: a small telecom carrier prevents IRSF attacks with TMT ID's TELESHIELD IPRN Database

Small Telecom Carrier - Customer Case Study

A small Telecom Carrier in the Asia Pacific region was suffering from persistent International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF) attacks on its network. The attacks occurred monthly over a 20-day period, originating from hacked PBX systems. The customer sought assistance from TMT ID to confirm the fraud type and to determine if the TELESHIELD™ IPRN Database service could have prevented it.

By analyzing the fraudulent calls, TMT ID determined that its IPRN database would have identified 52-60% of the suspicious numbers. Critically, the solution would have flagged the attack within the first few calls, generating fraud alerts on the very first day. TMT ID concluded that implementing their service would have immediately discovered and shut down the fraud, preventing 23 days of continued attacks and the associated financial losses.
