One time I got phone-DDoS'd by a robocaller who was using my number to call everyone else in my area code. Then for several hours, people were calling me back nonstop and saying "Calling you back...".
Incredibly annoying. When I complained to my phone provider they basically said there is no way to stop it since the callback numbers are spoofed and they apparently have no logs at all. Its _unreal_.
- craftyguy 8y agoThis actually happened a few months ago with my work phone number, which I had forwarded to my cell. Within tens of minutes, my cell voicemail box was completely full. Luckily I just had to stop forwarding calls to my cell and disconnect my work phone (which I never really used anymore). Before I figured out it was my work number that had been 'stolen', I was talking to my cell carrier (tmobile) who basically said the only 'solution' was to get a different phone number. This would be an excellent way to DoS a competitor, for example..
