Robocall Contest: Robocalls: Humanity Strikes Back

The Federal Trade Commission (``FTC'') announces a prize competition that challenges the public to create a crowd-source robocall honeypot. A honeypot is an information system that is designed to attract perpetrators of illegal acts--in this case robocallers--and gain knowledge about their tactics. The Contest will be held in two phases, a ``Qualifying'' phase and ``Final'' phase (see Section 7). The Final phase will be held at DEF CON 23, a conference of information security specialists, in Las Vegas, Nevada, from August 6-9, 2015.
