The proliferation of email has been instrumental in connecting the world, but it has also led to significant abuse, with spammers using unsubscribe links as a beacon to target legitimate addresses. To combat this, standards such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC were developed by the IETF, which have proven effective in detecting and preventing spoofed emails when properly deployed. Despite their effectiveness, adoption of these standards has been slow. Similarly, with the rise of voice communications beyond copper wires, there is a growing need to protect legitimate calling services from abuse, with SHAKEN/STIR being implemented by carriers and technology companies to combat robocalls, which are the most complained about form of abuse. The implementation of these standards and technologies has shed light on what anti-abuse looked like before the advent of Internet standards and has raised concerns among older populations who are being preyed upon with carefully crafted messages purporting to be from trusted organizations.
