Folks -- Just saw on Asterisk-biz that DIDww is suffering some issues. I noticed this morning that we had trouble getting to their API starting sometime between 2-3am EDT. Their website is currently non-functional with this message (as of 11:42am EDT): http://www.didww.com/ DIDWW is experiencing a severe attack on its USA servers. As a result, some of our services are suffering from intermittent outages. We are working intensively to resolve these issues and apologize to our customers for the inconvenience. Our customer care staff is of course available for all your needs by email and phone 24 hours a day at the following contact details: support at didww.com +44-20-80-99-76-99 It seems this has been going on for about 9 hours now.

Switches being flooded by unwanted calls

Unfortunately, I've never had luck with doing that. Mostly because the preceding carriers do not want to disclose their network connections due to proprietary information. Even with carriers you have good relations with, eventually you get stonewalled.

we're interested in trying to track down the source of the calls and where they are entering the PSTN network.

I've actually read that, and other phone number reporting sources like it. there is a lot of guessing going on where this number is coming from. we have even tried to take steps with the intermediate carriers that are delivering the calls to us, but they cannot tell us where the call is coming into them due to agreements.

A question about some international calling fraud to Eritrea
by myaklin＠g4.net April 19, 2010

April 19, 2010

Hey all, I will try to explain this the best I can. We got a call from one of our long distance carriers today telling us that we had a spike of long distance international calls going through their switch. These calls were to Africa and the country name is Eritrea. The originating number is a customer of ours. The trick is that this customer uses resold ILEC POTs lines that has their long distance calls PIC'd to the carrier who called to warn us about the spike of odd call traffic. This customer of ours happens to be a large agency in NH who has the ability to look at CDRs directly from the 5ESS in Concord, NH. A rather special situation to say the least. They can state, with quite a bit of assurance, that these calls were not generated from their PBX/network as they cannot see any records for them. Also, as I checked earlier, these calls did not go through any of my switches/asterisk servers. So the customer and I are left wondering how these calls managed to get to this long distance carrier who warned us about the spike. The calls came into this long distance carrier from the Manchester, NH Fairpoint tandem. Naturally we will try to contact Fairpoint for assistance but I am not very hopeful at this point they will be much help. The long distance carrier who warned us tends to think that the calls were generated by our customer who has something SIP/PBX insecure but when the customer has a link to look at CDR records right from the 5ESS he is rather sure that is not the case. I am trying to figure out creative ways this fraud can be happening if the customer is not at fault. One way is for a person who owns/operates a full blown switch to generate this type of fraud but it does seem unlikely. Any suggestions what I should be asking the long distance carrier who warned us about this? Any suggestions on how this type of fraud can be committed without the customer being the cause? Should I be grilling our customer one more time stating that since the originating number was theirs AND that it was PIC'd to the right long distance carrier... it is hard to imagine that someone could duplicate this fraud that easily? Thank you for your time. I hope I was clear enough to give you an idea of what is going on. matt at g4.net
