As Golden Orb continues to grow, we have decided to move out of our offices at Wembley into new premises close to central London.
From the 20th June 2011 our official address will be;
Golden Orb Networks Ltd
Linton House
164-180 Union Street
London, SE1 0LH
Our phone numbers etc all remain the same.
Interesting article on how Skype and other VOIP services are potentially vulnerable to linguistic attack by analysing the size of the still encrypted data packets to indicate properties of the original speech and then matching that to the way in which know phoneme structures are used in English language.
I’m not sure how actually useful this might be – and it would clearly fail if the two parties were speaking any other language as there would be no clear way to work this out other than an educated guess based on names and locations….

Golden Orb produce white-paper on combating telephony based user ID fraud
Following approaches from several UK based financial institutions, Golden Orb has been addressing the growing problem where their customer contact centre phone systems are being compromised by fraudsters and hackers.
In addition to attacking and compromising the main phone switches themselves, fraudsters are increasingly re-directing calls from a bank, card provider, insurance company, or other financial institution to their own phones in various ways, particularly when answering queries on suspect transactions or conducting phone based banking or payments.
As a secure Tier One private phone network with both national and international links, Golden Orb is able to discretely monitor calls being placed to and from financial institutions phone systems, tracking their true location, route used and numbers called using SS7 signalling protocols unavailable to other fraud prevention companies.
In addition, we have developed a series of authentication processes using a separate channel outside of the actual call-path being used to validate that the intended recipients phone is not being redirected or forwarded elsewhere without the callers knowledge.
The white paper describing our offerings in this space can be downloaded here.
