Billion Scam Calls Blocked in Australia – A Massive Win or a Hidden Opportunity?

Table of content
Australia’s fight against scam calls and SMS has reached unprecedented levels, with telecommunications providers blocking a staggering 2.2 billion scam calls and 788 million scam SMS messages. While these numbers represent a significant victory in protecting Australians from fraud, they also highlight a critical missed opportunity: every blocked scam is a chance to gather valuable intelligence.
The Hidden Opportunity in Blocked Scams
Each fraudulent call or message contains a wealth of information about cybercriminal tactics, emerging attack vectors, and scammer networks. Instead of merely blocking these threats, what if we could intercept, analyse, and learn from them to stay ahead of scammers?
