Telcos block 20 global carriers allowing spoofed calls to reach India

Indian telecom operators have complied with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) order to block traffic from 20 international operators which were repeatedly sending spoofed calls to India, the DoT said on Friday.

This and other recent measures have led to the number of spoofed calls identified and blocked with Indian numbers now dipping to about 4 lakhs per day, it said.
