In this talk, we first the introduce the notion of cross-channel abuse and explain why it\u0026rsquo;s an emerging tactic used by fraudsters. We then present a longitudinal study of the support infrastructure aiding cross-channel text-messaging abuse which reveals interesting insights on domain and IP infrastructure used in text messaging scams, spam and phishing attacks. We conclude with a brief overview of other cross-channel abuse cases such as technical support scams.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBIO\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp; | \u0026nbsp; Bharat Srinivasan is a final-year Ph.D. student with the School of Computer Science at Georgia Tech.
