The big telecoms get call traffic from a manageably small number of interconnect companies/organizations.
They probably can’t figure out the initial source, but they can figure out which interconnect it’s coming from.
They should call them at their 24/7 NOC and tell them to trace it back a later to trace back another layer to trace it back another layer. Or else they’re getting shutdown in 24hrs.
Same as AT&T would do if Cogent was sending them spoofed scam traffic.
The problem is that the telecoms get paid for these 4th string interconnects by the minute.
