FTC To Trap Robocallers With Open Source Software 125
coondoggie writes: The Federal Trade Commission today announced the rules for its second robocall exterminating challenge, known this time as Zapping Rachel Robocall Contest. 'Rachel From Cardholder Services,' was a large robocall scam the agency took out in 2012. The agency will be hosting a contest at next month's DEF CON security conference to build open-source methods to lure robocallers into honeypots and to predict which calls are robocalls. They'll be awarding cash prizes for the top solutions.

How horrifying it would be to wake in the hospital, and find out that you survived a terrible car crash, but they had to patch you up with a new liver, and now you are (scare chord) 10% TELEMARKETER!
