Security Voices

Robocalls have plagued our phones in recent years, prompting many of us to no longer answer calls if we don’t immediately recognize the number. Ballpark estimates put the number of calls in 2018 at 48 Billion-- a 50% increase from the previous year. Ever wondered who was behind the flood of phone spam? How much they make? Where they’re from?
