“The recent news of News of the World's caller ID spoofing and telephone hacking scandal has revealed that phone hacking continues in the age of progressive technologies,” said Patrick Cox, co-founder and CEO of TrustID. “Criminals are using the telephone channel to gain access to consumer information, which can then perpetrate fraud over other channels, including the Internet. The Telephone FirewallTM product, which is currently being utilized and trialed at some of the nation’s largest banks, validates the source of the incoming calls before the phone is answered. The Telephone FirewallTM has the potential to be utilized by the general public to prevent this new threat in the near future.”
