Telephone Fraud

Are you aware of telephone fraud, better known as toll-fraud? It's one of the largest IT security threats many businesses haven’t heard of, or don’t pay much attention to. 

Allow me to explain; For those unfamiliar, Toll-Fraud & Phone Hacking is a multi-billion pound industry with monetary damages more than double that of Credit Card Fraud.

In the UK a massive 84% of businesses are not safe from toll fraud with the average cost of a UK attack around £10,000. This amount of money could be disastrous for a small or medium business. You're business is at risk regardless of whether you have an analogue, digital or IP based system. Toll fraud shows no signs of going away, it's actually rising by 15% per year, yet it's one of the lesser known fraud techniques in the public eye. 

In this article from the BBC a small business from Essex explain how they fell victim to telephone fraud.
