American Bankers Association and Others Urge the FCC to Block the Email-to-Text Loophole

Your FCC Update for 10/28/2024 Summarizing 1 Filings from 1 Hot Proceedings

Dear Friends of The Docket Digest,

Nothing succeeds in making a convincing argument like real-life use cases. The American Bankers Association using an example from last month to show how email-to-text is a backdoor for large-scale phishing attacks. They asked the FCC to implement its NPRM without delay. Opt-in only email-to-text, where in a subscriber has to actively notify their carrier to allow for such messages, is already implemented by Verizon and shouldn’t be too hard for the other carriers.
