The team behind caller ID service Hiya has taken advantage of the attention generated by MWC this week to release its Global Robocall Radar Report, putting some hard data to the massive growth in the scourge of unwanted calls, and the results it found are unfortunately as depressing as you’d expect.
Based on an analysis of more than 12 billion calls worldwide each month, Hiya’s report finds that, globally, spam calls saw a massive 325% spike in 2018, with the problem particularly acute in places like the US, as well as Italy, France, the UK and Argentina among areas hit hardest by nuisance and fraudulent phone calls.
