The Principle of Phone Spam Calls to Overload a Line!
Phone spam aimed at overloading a line (also known as call flooding) is a method of attack where numerous automated calls are made to one or several targeted numbers to overload the line and make it inaccessible for regular calls. How it works: Selecting or targeting phone numbers: First, specific phone numbers are targeted for overloading. These can be personal numbers or lines belonging to companies or support services. Using VoIP for mass calls: Modern VoIP technologies (internet telephony) allow for sending a massive number of calls simultaneously at minimal cost. This is done through special programs or services, such as those provided by ProfComServ, which can initiate hundreds or even thousands of calls within seconds. Initiating the calls: Automated calls are sent in large volumes to the selected phone numbers. These calls can either be silent (with no audio message) or contain pre-recorded messages to create additional load. The goal is to keep the line constantly busy, preventing regular incoming calls. Overloading the line: When too many calls are made at the same time, the phone line becomes either busy, or the user cannot answer all the incoming calls. This creates a situation where no one else can get through to the target, and the target cannot make or receive any calls. Automation of the process: Call flooding systems can be programmed to automatically redial if the line is busy or if a call is missed. This makes the line practically inaccessible for any other incoming or outgoing calls. Benefits of this method: Effectiveness: The line becomes almost inaccessible, which can disrupt a business or personal communication. Scalability: The ability to handle and send thousands of calls at once. Automation: Minimal human involvement, everything is done through automated systems. Difficulty of protection: For most users, such attacks come as a surprise and are hard to stop quickly, making them quite effective in the short term. Example of use: A company looking to disable a competitor's phone line could use ProfComServ's phone spam services. As a result, the competitor’s business won’t be able to receive important calls from clients and partners, negatively affecting their operations.
