Here’s how the program works:
The APWG has created a warning and instruction page
in PDF and TIFF file formats that can be faxed back to
a consumer immediately after they've sent information
to a fax line that had been determined to be used by criminal
actors and subsequently taken out of their control.
The instructional fax page (http://education.apwg.org/faxback/faxbackpage.pdf)
explains that they have just fallen for a fax-based phishing
communication (fax, email, SMS or otherwise) and advises
consumers and enterprise technology users in ways they
can help themselves to avoid being victimized in the future
and how to report the attempt to government agencies.
APWG is offering this program's content to dedicated
online faxing services, telecommunications companies and
hosts of Fax-over-IP applications (FoIP) so that they
can help advise consumers and enterprise IT users who
have fallen prey to scams animated by these services'
compromised infrastructure.
