Graham Butler – President and CEO Bitek © 2013 8 Hiding and Trading - Fraud Over VoIP What is on your national IP network?
Example - Viber Media
“Call, text, and send photos to each other, worldwide - for free!”
• 350m downloads / 105m concurrent users / 550k sign ups each day. • Viber client will not install unless the user allows access to their contacts list. • Development centre located in Israel - hosting at Amazon Cloud / Akamai Cloud (US). • Cloud hosting in liberal jurisdictions allows OTT services to bypass national policies.
• Consistent refusal to provide intercept data to courts and LEAs.
What OTT services are on your network? Are they lawful intercept compliant?
