Globe has partnered with government agencies to strengthen efforts against mobile-based scams, introducing new tools designed to detect illegal signal activity across the country. In collaboration with the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), and the Philippine National Police’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), Globe has donated IMSI catcher detectors to help authorities identify and track unauthorized mobile network activity. Globe said the move is part of a broader effort to combat increasingly sophisticated threats that operate beyond standard telecom networks. The initiative builds on Globe’s existing anti-scam measures, including blocking clickable links in person-to-person SMS and launching its SMS Scam Shield feature on the GlobeOne app. Globe, NTC, CICC, CIDG deploy IMSI catcher detectors to fight mobile scamsGlobe said the partnership reflects a broader effort to ensure that digital connectivity in the Philippines remains safe and secure.
