Text messaging has become an essential communication tool for businesses, but its rising popularity has also led to increased SMS fraud, posing significant threats to organizations. SMS fraud includes various illegal activities such as SMS pumping, SIM swapping, and smishing, which aim to steal personal information and financial resources from businesses and individuals. These fraudulent activities can lead to financial losses, erode trust between businesses and customers, compromise security and privacy, disrupt operations, and result in legal consequences. To combat SMS fraud, businesses must implement measures like setting SMS message limits, using OTP cool-downs, linking accounts to unique device identifiers, and employing bot detection and risk analysis strategies. Additionally, educating users about recognizing and responding to suspicious messages is crucial. Tools like Fingerprint's Device Intelligence Platform can help identify devices and monitor user behavior to prevent fraud. By adopting a comprehensive approach combining technology, awareness, and diligence, businesses can effectively safeguard against SMS fraud, as demonstrated by Jumia, an African eCommerce platform that successfully reduced costs associated with SMS fraud using Fingerprint.
