CallSource invented CallShield in response to a surge in telephone hacking that is plaguing businesses, worldwide. Telephone hacking is a multi-billion dollar problem involving organized crime, where hackers use computer programs to dial toll-free and local telephone numbers, searching for unattended business phones. Once inside, the criminals can sell discount overseas calling cards that cost the criminals nothing, sticking the owners with the bills.

In addition to telephone hacking, automated spam calls have become such a nuisance that the FTC offered the public a $50,000 prize for the best solution to block them. Unfortunately, the winning solutions do not appear to be effective against hackers or spammers sophisticated enough to "spoof" the originating caller's phone number.

"We were witnessing tens of thousands of spam and hacking calls per day to toll-free and local numbers," said Elliot Leiboff, chief strategy officer. "Since there was no solution available, we invented one to protect our clients from huge potential losses to hackers and spammers. We are proud that we can provide our clients with peace of mind from such attacks, while upholding our reputation as the industry leader."

CallSource will provide CallShield at no extra cost to their customers, ensuring that their phone systems remain spam/hack-free.
