Providers that care enough to provide these security measures to their customers will have a distinct advantage over competitors that leave open doors to identity theft, privacy, corporate espionage, and theft through PBX hijacking. “Telecom fraud is causing carriers to lose 4.5% of their revenue. No business is immune. It is a daily occurrence that doesn’t discriminate by size, industry or location,” said Yaniv Rofé, CEO of Humbug Telecom Labs. “Most service providers and virtually all businesses have no idea it is happening and do little to prevent it. TM Forum can be a key resource in helping Humbug Telecom Labs spread the word.” About Humbug Telecom Labs Humbug Telecom Labs makes it affordable for any sized business to have carrier-class fraud prevention and detection, while providing powerful BI (business intelligence) that puts the users in command of their telecom activity.
