Threat Score
The report describes a long‑running international fraud campaign that converts fake CAPTCHA pages into an IRSF revenue stream by forcing users to send multiple prefilled international SMS messages. Operators use typosquatted domains, TDS, JavaScript back‑button hijacks, and tracking cookies to maximize conversions across at least 17 countries, leveraging high SMS termination fees and affiliate revenue‑share arrangements to generate large-scale financial losses for subscribers and telecom carriers.
