There is an effort underway to fix this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN
There is not much motivation to fix PSTN (and cell networks that rely on or emulate PSTN) as it's being phased out. So things move slowly.
- wmf 5y agoSS7 and TDM may be phased out but phone numbers and phone calls will still exist. It seems like the replacement protocols (SIP?) are still copying SS7 security flaws exactly, with STIR/SHAKEN as a bandaid on top instead of a fundamental fix.
- nostrebored 5y agoYes, the ability to present CNAM in SIP will continue to be a thorn for ages.
