David Glance is the director of the UWA Centre for Software Practice at the University of Western Australia. He says very little has been done about phone and text scams in Australia. Government agencies should provide a centralised database of numbers associated with scammers, says Glance. He thinks Google and Apple should be able to do more independently of government agencies. The researcher says the number of scammy phone numbers should be shared with tech giants like Apple and Google. He also says it would be possible to apply the same technology to phone calls and texts.”]
