I get about five or six phishing texts from these long winded strange email addresses with stupid link url's every week.

I've tried ATT's spam reporting and it does NOTHING but ask for more info that I can't get. Who the fuck knows what the "numerical address the text was from" is?

Calls to customer service tell me in broken English to follow the same procedure that doesn't work or use the "block all messages that aren't in my contact list." Which is stupid in light of two factor authentication for most secure sites that rely on my receiving a code via text.

So, it's about time, but I don't think it's enough. Service providers should be responsible, or at least accountable, for harm done by people using their system as a tool for their dirty deeds. For them to be able to simply turn a blind eye and say "gee, not our problem" as rake in the profits is unconscionable.

I assume the only reason anything is happening is some politician or bureaucrat finally got fucked by a phishing attack so NOW it's important.
