How Twilio Defends Against Toll Fraud Attacks

Twilio processes billions of API requests per month, but one of the most expensive threats it faces isn't a data breach — it's toll fraud. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down how attackers abuse Twilio's communication APIs to route traffic through premium-rate numbers, costing companies thousands in unexpected charges. They walk through a real attack scenario, explain how Twilio's fraud detection algorithms work, and discuss what API developers can learn about building defenses into their own systems. A practical episode on an under-discussed security risk. #Twilio #TollFraud #APISecurity #CommunicationAPIs #FraudDetection #DeveloperSecurity #WebAPIs #RESTAPI #CloudCommunications #TelecomFraud #RateLimit #NumberVerification #APIDesign #SecurityBestPractices #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
