Numeracle Founder & CEO, Rebekah Johnson, to Speak at CES 2024

McLean, VA., Dec. 18, 2023 – Numeracle™ Inc. (“Numeracle”), the pioneer of Verified Identity™ and Entity Identity Management™ for communications, announced today that its Founder & CEO, Rebekah Johnson, will address the critical concern of fraudulent robotexting at CES® 2024 on Tuesday, January 9, 2024.

Johnson will join an expert panel discussion, “Don't Click That Link! The State of Spam,” alongside representatives from the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and AT&T. The conversation will explore the sophisticated tactics employed by robotext scammers and the proactive measures that can be utilized to stop scams before they reach consumers.

Dr. Bradley Reaves, an Associate Professor at North Carolina State University, security expert, and repeat guest of Numeracle’s Tuesday Talks identity management podcast illuminates the escalating threat of robotexts explaining, "The rise of SMS phishing, fueled by the lack of caller ID in text messaging makes it difficult to verify if messages are from legitimate sources or scammers. This anonymity, coupled with the low cost of executing these scams, makes them increasingly appealing to fraudsters, posing a significant problem for the telecom sector."

Moderated by Steven Overly, Host of POLITICO Tech at POLITICO, the panel features:

  • Rebekah Johnson, Founder & CEO, Numeracle
  • Alejandro Roark, Bureau Chief, FCC
  • Amanda Potter, Assistant Vice President & Senior Legal Counsel, AT&T

These panelists bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the discussion, each offering unique insights into the challenges of modern communication security.

“The security risks we're seeing are frankly alarming. Every rogue text message has the potential to be a Trojan horse, compromising consumers’ personal information. It's not just about inconvenience anymore; it's about real people, their lives, and their data at stake,” explains Rebekah Johnson, Founder & CEO of Numeracle. “As new rulemaking around text blocking is considered, it’s critical we apply the lessons learned from voice fraud to apply KYC principles to prevent abusive access to the technology in the first place.”
