Statistical Insights and Fraud Techniques for Telecommunications Sector in Egypt

Abstract

National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) has investigated the telecommunication performance in the service providers in Egypt between the periods of February 2018 till February 2019. Fraud is a multibillions pounds' problem around the world. The problem is the huge financial loss of revenue that can affect the trustworthiness and performance of the telecommunication corporate. Egypt is one of the developing countries that are witnessing a rapid-growth development in its telecommunications infrastructure. As a result of the increment rate of corporate and internet users, fraudsters are exploiting the vulnerabilities to gain illegal revenue through the subscribers. The telecommunications sector in Egypt has suffered in the last two decades from different types of telecom fraud cases which have damaged the financial sector in both telecommunication side and governmental side. In this paper, we present: a) Statistical insights on users, mobile operators and Internet companies for the telecommunications sector in Egypt in 2018/2019. b) An illustration for the common fraudulent methodologies that are used against both users and telecom operators in Egypt. c) A discussion on the consequences of fraud cases with a suggested framework as a proactive methodology to prevent the escalated threat of telecom fraud.

A Malware Obfuscation AI Technique to Evade Antivirus Detection in Counter Forensic Domain

“…In order to achieve those objectives, the source code is compiled into binary for showing the byte-level performance, the binary byte-level shows the assembler symbolic instruction output into hexadecimal [36]. As an example, global _start will be represented into hexadecimal in one byte.…”

The Autonomy Evolution in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle: Theory, Challenges and Techniques

“…It is main function is to represent the definition of partial truth, where the true value can be set between entirely true and entirely false. The main target of this section is highlighting four previous studies that discussed the autonomous improvements in UAV through fuzzy logic; to enhance its control systems [19]. In Table 1, a comparative study on four papers were made; to clarify different fuzzy logic techniques for solving various autonomy UAV challenges Table 3.…”

Localization of Facial Images Manipulation in Digital Forensics via Convolutional Neural Networks

“…The three most popular forensic segmentation methods are used: elimination, copy-moving and splicing. Such methods must process full-scale images, as with other segmentation tasks of images [6].…”
