Commsrisk will now accept contributions to its research on behalf of the European Union into spoofing prevention and traceback until close of business on Friday, 14 August 2026.

The survey asks contributors to recommend relevant methods and explain how they work, what is required to deploy them, and their advantages and disadvantages. Respondents need answer only the sections relevant to their knowledge or experience.

Anyone may contribute, whether based inside or outside the European Union. Responses may be submitted by private individuals or on behalf of organisations.

Cease to resist, giving my goodbye
Drive my car into the ocean
You’ll think I’m dead, but I sail away
On a wave of mutilation

This is the final Commsrisk article. The website will continue to host the Commsrisk Global Fraud Dashboard under the stewardship of James Greenley, the software engineer who created it, for as long as he can find financial backers to support that work. Presenting reams of objective data compiled from varied international sources is the best way to build on the platform constructed during the first two decades of this website. Facts and figures need to rule; words are too messy and too easily twisted. My regular narratives about the communications sector end now, not with regret, but with pleasure. I am glad to be released to live a different life to the one that has consumed so much of me.
