Description: Telecommunications fraud refers to illegal activities that exploit telecommunications services to gain financial benefits. This type of fraud can manifest in various forms, including unauthorized use of services, manipulation of billing systems, and identity theft. The main characteristics of telecommunications fraud include its clandestine nature, the use of advanced technology to carry out fraudulent activities, and its significant impact on telecommunications companies and their customers. This phenomenon not only affects the profitability of companies but can also compromise user data security and generate distrust in telecommunications services. The relevance of fraud in this sector has led to the implementation of stricter technological regulations and security measures to protect both service providers and consumers. As technology advances, so do the tactics used by fraudsters, necessitating constant vigilance and adaptation of regulations to mitigate these risks.
