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 sought assistance from TMT ID after suffering from repeated international revenue share fraud (IRSF) attacks. Over a three-month period, the carrier experienced a significant incident in February where fraudulent calls resulted in substantial losses, prompting them to ask if TMT ID's Teleshield IPRN database could have prevented the attack.

Analysis by TMT ID confirmed the activity as IRSF and demonstrated that their IPRN database would have been highly effective. The solution identified 99.1% of the fraudulent calls and 88% of the unique numbers dialed. TMT ID concluded that the fraud would have been discovered and shut down within the first 30-60 minutes, preventing the attack from continuing for days and saving the carrier from significant losses.
