In April 2019, Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) and Trend Micro Research published a joint Cyber-Telecom Crime Report 2019. Trend Microis a global provider of enterprise data security and cybersecurity solutions.

The report intends to help stakeholders in the industry navigate the telecom threat landscape. It offers an overview of how telecom fraud/crimes translate into monetary gains for criminals and explains key concepts of the telecom infrastructure.

At the heart of the report are threats concerning infrastructure attacks and network-based telecom frauds. The report also offers a number of case studies of relevant telecom fraud cases to demonstrate how these attacks play out in real-world situations.
